Mabuhay, an excellent promotional aid in promoting island travel. The sportsman-traveler was not forgotten. General Doolittle and his party took this potent group of prospective airline travelers on a hunting and fishing trip to VIASA-land in the film, Venezuelan Adventure, produced on behalf of that country's leading air line.

Delta and Saturn "report films" were another important part of the Film and Television Communications program in 1966 and in this year. An 1 8-minute Report to the Stockholders was also completed last year. Sales films completed last year included such subjects as Aerospace Biotechnology. overseas versions of For the Short Haul (including a Japanese translation) and (in production earlier this year) films on the DC-9 and a revised version of The Forward Look. Corporate film productions to be noted were Adventures in Space Age Photography: Eclipse 1966 (both sound and silent versions), another co-production with Comsat and Douglas Missile & Space Systems Division, ComsatApollo and the MSSD film on Delta-Workhorse in Space. Add the training films produced for Douglas customers (there were 30 versions alone of Meet the DC-9 turned out for various airlines in 1966) to the Douglas Aircraft Company Nensreels (four in 1966) for employee communication and you get some ideas of a really active film workshop that exemplifies Douglas' Film and Television Communications unit.
