Full title reads: “U-BOAT KILLER“. Long Island Sound. Various shots of a Sikorsky XR-4 helicopter on a converted merchant ship “Bunker Hill“ demonstrating it can land and take off from a special flight deck on the ship. The idea is to load the helicopter with a depth charge and hover over U-boat targets and score a more direct hit. (Mute & Track Negs.) FILM ID: A VIDEO FROM BRITISH PATHÉ.
