              EXT. BAR, LAE, NEW GUINEA - DAY



CLOSE on a mud-streaked AIRFIELD in mist and driving RAIN.

A Lockheed ELECTRA sits. Sleek, twin-engine, state-of-the-

art, its metallic surface battered by the monsoon. Waiting.

PULL BACK to see...
...our VIEW down onto the landing strip is from an open-

sided, thatched roof BAR high above the airfield. And

peering down through the mist and rain...
...a WOMAN in grimy flight clothes gazes at the plane.

Slender. Feminine. At first glance, fragile. Then the gray

eyes change like the sea, as a stray thought transforms her.

Something fierce lives there.
              SUPERIMPOSE:   LAE, NEW GUINEA - 1937.



                                  FRED (O.S.)
