Air Strike Over Korea. United Nations fighter-bombers pound the enemy, smashing Red positions and supplies, as ground troops repel new enemy thrust. Men on board carrier load bomb, attached to which is an actual kitchen sink (perhaps so no one could say they fired everything but the kitchen sink at the enemy, or perhaps to "sink" their foes) -- can't see much of the sink but the words "The Kitchen Sink" are stenciled on it. Pilot and "ground crew" guy (what do you call ground crew on a ship?) give one another the thumbs up sign. U.S. Navy plane takes off from aircraft carrier. Navy officers watch. Air to air shot of 3 planes flying. CU pilot in cockpit. VS subjective POV from the planes as rockets/bombs are launched and explode on ground targets. Unusual weapon, projectile.
