USS DIXIE (AD-14) 1958-59 WESTPAC




DVD Content
This DVD contains the home movies of a sailor who was stationed aboard the USS Dixie during her 1958-59 WestPac.
Great home movie footage of life aboard Dixie
Good liberty scenes.
This is actually a very cool DVD. It is the ultimate black shoe home movie. A lot of scenes aboard Dixie, as well as several destroyers tied up alongside in various ports. Sometimes the destroyers have either command inspections or change of command, as everyone is in ranks in dress whites. This is the first film I have ever seen from a destroyer tender, and to be honest, I was very pleasantly surprised and enjoyed watching it. I also am grateful I was a helicopter crewman aboard carriers!!! If you were on Dixie, or just want to peek into the life of the black shoe Navy, you will enjoy this DVD.
Over 32 minutes running time

  • Produced by GRS Videos (TM). GRS Videos is dedicated to the preservation of Naval Aviation film footage. This passion began when the son of a recently deceased Korean War veteran told me how he had thrown away all of those "old 8mm films of planes flying off of a ship". Yes, I cried. Our heritage MUST be preserved. As a veteran of Naval Aviation, I have a strong interest in ensuring that our stories are not forgotten. If you have footage (16mm, 8mm, VHS, Super 8, Beta, or Digital) contact me at PLAT_Collector@verizon.net. I will also gladly trade any footage I have for new footage (any format). So, if I have Naval Aviation footage you want, and you have something I do not have, contact me and I am confident we can work something out. I am always looking for new PLAT mishaps and home movies/video of carrier operations and life on carriers. All proceeds go into obtaining and preserving more Naval Aviation footage. Gary R. Schreffler served on USS Midway (with HS-12) from 1984-1991.
