Operation PLUTO in World War 2

This was sent by a Marine I was stationed with in Hawthorne, Nevada: Robert Hope of Sacramento. It was just too interesting not to share it with you.
This film would have been highly classified at the time, and fortunately the war effort was not plagued by the Eric Snowden's, Bradley Manning's, and the 21st Century New York Times. The closest thing we had to that lot was Julius and Ethel Rosenberg, but that is a story for another time.
Bob's forward read:

You may have already known of this, but I sure didn't. In spite of watching film about WW II and the European theater, I never thought to wonder how all the military vehicles were supplied with fuel. They sure couldn't just stop at the corner station and fill up their tank or jeep gas tank.
