Summary: The Army-Navy Screen Magazine was produced by the U.S. Army Signal Corps Pictorial Service, under the supervision of Col. Frank Capra, who came up with the idea. It was released twice a month and shown to military troops as a 20-minute newsreel. It featured short documentary films, news from back home, and short training films. This episode is from Screen Magazine #25 (1944) reel 1, part 1, highlighting Negro engineers as they rebuild an airstrip on Munda and relax at the "Munda Cotton Club."
