Anecdotes

Flight 6 is a 1944 Canadian documentary film produced by the National Film Board of Canada and directed and primarily photographed by Sydney Newman. The film is part of the Canada Carries On series, which ran from 1940 to 1959. Newman was also the executive producer for the series. Many of the documentaries were created as morale boosting propaganda films during the Second World War.

Production

Along with Salute to Victory, Atlantic Patrol, Battle of Europe and Battle for Oil, Flight 6 made during the Second World War "... might be called soft-sell propaganda." Typical of the NFB's Canada Carries On series of documentary short films, Flight 6 told a simple but direct story about Canada's role in wartime, especially focusing on the advances made in aviation, one of the main themes of the series.
