Howe, John, (film director.). Balla, Nicholas, (film producer.). National Film Board of Canada (Montreal), (film producer.).

Summary: A highly integrated defense network is necessary to give adequate protection to a country like Canada. This film shows how the Royal Canadian Air Force fulfills its primary role of maintaining constant vigilance and providing a blanket of aerial defense. It illustrates the combat readiness and shows how, in the event of an attack, warnings would be flashed to National Defence headquarters in eastern Canada and to Continental Defense headquarters in the United States.
