Here's a link for some raw footage that I obtained from the National Archives. Can anybody ID the place and the pilot at the end?

It's 13 kill ace 1Lt Edwin Shaw of VMF-213 Hellhawks. This was around July -Aug 43 I'd say. Later a Capt he was the 213 CO towards the later part of 43. He was from Spokane, WA and was killed flying a Corsair out of (I believe) El Toro in July-Aug 1944.
