1 reel of 400ft of film - initially content unknown. Following digitising, the content is identified on the first few frames as "Reel One" / “Customer USN” / “Tailcone Attacks” / “Title Series 2 / “Prod M1154”
This appears to be part of WW2-era equipment used for training rear gunners on bombers for situations when their plane comes under attack by (various) fighters - mainly Japanese aircraft but also 2 German planes (Messerschmitt 109 and 110). It is possible that US aircrew were being trained in Norfolk for the Pacific Theatre.
The attached PDF provides some research information.
