Posting this here too so us Navy jeep guys have more historical reference.
Movie is about Naval aviation from start up to beginning of jet age. About 1 hour and 15 minutes into movie the scene is of planes taking off in battle of Midway. No guarantee to film clip is actual Midway footage but it is Navy film scene and shows 3 jeeps with no windshields parked next to the island of a WW2 carrier as a plane goes by ready for takeoff. You can make out hood and hood blocks of 1st jeep as well as 3 steering wheels and some front and rear passenger seats. Probably plane spotting jeeps from early days of WW2
