Shot on 8mm film in 1944, this archival footage captures a military amphibious landing operation in Leyte Gulf, Philippines. The sequence opens with a wide view of numerous landing craft approaching a distant shoreline under an overcast sky, followed by a closer aerial perspective of a single tracked amphibious vehicle navigating the water. A soldier is visible aboard the craft as it moves through the waves, leaving a white wake. The film exhibits characteristic Super 8 grain, color fading, and light leaks, conveying a raw, historical wartime perspective. This authentic wartime footage is ideal for documentaries, historical projects, and editorial content exploring World War II in the Pacific.
