When this documentary was made, John Huston narrator-director was a member of the U.S. Army Signal Corps.
Use of footage of everyday daily life of the American soldier included in this documentary was objected to by the US Army authorities. Narrator-director John Huston fought for the inclusion of this footage for a couple of months and was successful in retaining these scenes in the documentary.
This documentary was made before the US and Canadian August 1943 invasion of Kiska. However, B-17 and B-24 bombing raid footage is seen at the end of this film.
The bomber named "I Dood It" seen in this film with its crew gathered around is a Consolidated B-24D Liberator from the 404th Bomb Squadron, 28th Bomb Group, 11th U.S. Army Air Force. The name was a catchphrase used by Red Skelton on his radio show when he played the "Mean Widdle Kid" character.
