The story can be told now ... up to a certain point! About our first meeting in Washington, when they told us of the steel boxes that were to play such an amazing role in the invasions . . . about the secret East Coast proving ground where our camera crews shivered at twenty below and sweated at ninety above . . . about the many thousands of Seabees taught by TRAINING FILMS to assemble the box-like pontoons into barges, wharfs, bridges, drydocks and a dozen other strange shapes.

Pontoon training films flown to a Seabee battalion help in the winning of Guadalcanal . . . pontoons at Kwajalein, the Marshalls, Saipan and Leyte . . . pontoons at Sicily, Salerno and D-Day in Normandy.
