Video of Enterprise Air Ops - 1941

[DuncanLang]

Someone else has probably already posted this, although I cannot find it if they did. Apologize for the duplication if it has already appeared. There are also links to other films that might be of interest at the page the link is to.

Anyway, film was apparently shot aboard the USS Enterprise and around the San Diego area for the 1941 movie "Dive Bomber".

In the first shot, there are some monoplanes spotted in front.  They look like Buffalos, though the scoop on top of the cowling looks odd.  This is the last you see of them throughout the clip.  They aren't shown taking off or flying with the rest of the CAG.

Surely have to be Buffalos.
 
Great footage which was new to me, thanks for the link.

If you mean the aircraft below, Brewster F2A2s.
