Fonds consists of a short black and white film entitled “North Canadian Incident” about the crash of a PB-1 American navy observation plane near Natashquan, Quebec probably in 1944. The film shows scenes of the American civilian work crew who were sent from Presque Isle, Maine to fix the plane including activities like setting up camp, cooking, eating, and gathering wood. The pilot and flight engineer arrived and flew the plane back to the naval base at Quonset Point, Rhode Island where it was presented to the Navy. The film places emphasis on the ways that the American government was saving money by fixing the plane instead of building a new one.
