Bombers Over North Africa (1942)

The first few seconds of this World War II-era film immediately identifies it as an official training film from the War Department … and restricted. Produced by the Army Air Forces and photographed by combat camera crews, the film introduces the viewer to “Bombers Over North Africa”, and the Battle of Tunisia. General Dwight D. Eisenhower appears to discuss Allied movements in the Tunisia Campaign, which took place between November 1942 and May 1943. (Eisenhower is shown with four stars on his collar, a promotion he received in November 1942 after being appointed Supreme Commander Allied Expeditionary Forces of the North African Theater of Operations).
