Abstract: In preparing slide films to teach pilots in the South Pacific how to survive if forced down in enemy territory, the Training Film Branch has carried on experimental work that has definite implications for the motion picture training film field. The Jap—His Honorable Self, a slide film on how to “out-Jap” a Jap, provides a good example of this experimental work. The initial problem was to get pilots in the final stages of operational training or on combat duty to be willing to view slide films to which they were frankly allergic as a medium smacking too strongly of the traditional classroom. Secondly, because of the complexity of the material to be presented, an original treatment had to be devised to achieve a psychologic impact that would enable pilots to remember survival facts months after viewing the film. This treatment involved fresh approaches in script and art work, and the use of a color process new in the 35-mm commercial field.
