DECEMBER 7 footage

The toy boat attack on Pearl Harbor in this film bears a strong resemblence to the clips of the color footage John Ford shot for his original DECEMBER 7th documentary.

Is there any possibility that the color footage was re-cycled into this film?

Owning both on DVD, it was recycled, as were the shots of the "Japanese" Dauntless dive bombers.
