UK William STILLS - Prince begins RAF course to learn how to fly
NAME: STILLS WILLIAM 20080107I TAPE: EF08/0033 IN_TIME: 10:08:19:19 DURATION: 00:00:20:00 SOURCES: CLARENCE HOUSE DATELINE: Unknown location - Nov 2007 RESTRICTIONS: SHOTLIST: November 2007 - Location unknown 1. STILL: Britain's Prince William posing for the camera, after undertaking pre-training flight tests 2. STILL: William is seen undertaking pre-training flight tests STORYLINE: Britain's Prince William is scheduled to begin taking flying lessons this week at the start of a four-month assignment with the Royal Air Force, according to the military. The prince was due to begin his course on Monday with around 10 other students at the RAF Cranwell base in eastern England, the air force said. He will be known as Flying Officer William Wales, and will train on helicopters as well as fixed-wing aircraft. The commander of the air force flying school said if William was successful he would be awarded his RAF wings. He added that a graduation ceremony is planned for April. William, 25, is following in the footsteps of his father, Prince Charles, in serving with all three branches of the armed forces. The British monarch is symbolic head of the forces, and William is second in line to the throne, behind his father. Prince William graduated from Sandhurst military academy in December 2006 and has spent the last year as a second lieutenant in the army's Blues and Royals cavalry regiment. His younger brother, Harry, 23, is also an officer in the Blues and Royals. William will undergo a shortened version of the air force's standard pilot training course and will follow his stint in the air force with several months with the Royal Navy. Some questioned the training for William at a time when the military complains of being overstretched due to the conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan. A spokesperson from the anti-monarchist group Republic, called the prince's flying lessons "a disgraceful waste of resources." The royal family has a long tradition of military service. Prince Charles completed pilot training at RAF Cranwell in 1971. William's uncle, Prince Andrew, flew Sea King helicopters with the Royal Navy during the 1982 Falklands War. Prince William's grandfather, Prince Philip, saw active service with the navy throughout World War II. Queen Elizabeth II, William's grandmother, was trained as a truck driver with the Women's Auxiliary Territorial Service during World War II.

How American women contributed to U.S. war efforts during World War II as well as World War I
Film begins showing women looking at a bulletin board advertising free war training classes, during World War 2. Women are seen in a classroom learning to be quality control inspectors in factories. Their instructor uses a large-scale model of a micrometer to illustrate its use. A giant slide rule is mounted on the wall in the background. Women are shown working in an aircraft factory drafting room, preparing drawings for parts. Scene changes to women war production workers being trained as welders. A woman is seen teaching another to operate a drill press. Another woman is being trained to us a metal turning lathe in a machine shop. An employee patch on her right shoulder reads: "Bendix Aviation." Next, a woman is seen guiding a DC-3 commercial airplane into its parking place on an airport. A crew of women works to clean and maintain commercial aircraft in a hangar. Another crew of women climbs aboard a steam locomotive to clean and otherwise maintain it. A woman working as a commercial bus driver, picks up a passenger. Women serving in a messenger service company. A woman running an elevator in an office building. A woman making milk deliveries to a home. Women driving tractors on the large farms of the Midwest. Others run a harvester pulled by a team of 20 mules. A few men express reservations about the ability of women to work outside the home while still caring for families. Complete change of scene shows newsreels from World War 1 with men in uniforms marching. Nurses served overseas at base hospitals. But teams of women also supplemented for missing men in other occupations. One scene shows them shoveling debris into railroad open cars. Another showed women working in a lumber yard and also plowing fields on a farm. So-called Yeomanettes (World War I version of later era Waves) are seen on parade in uniform. Old newsreel shows U.S. Secretary of the Navy, Josephus Daniels, reviewing Yeomanettes, as his assistant Secretary, Franklin D. Roosevelt, converses with Vice Admiral William Sims. Film shifts back to World War II showing women in Army uniforms parading, glimpse of others who appear to be pilots. Film ends with montage of views seen earlier in the film.
