Opening credits prologue: FOREWORD "It is for us the living .... to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced ..... It is ......for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us ..... that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth." Abraham Lincoln
Epilogue: "This story has a conclusion but not an end---for its real end will be the victory for which Americans--- on land, on sea and in the air---have fought, are fighting now, and will continue to fight until peace has been won. Grateful acknowledgment is given to the United States Army Air Force, without whose assistance this record could not have been filmed."
