Hmm- I seem to remember that last one well....

What a cool idea! The B-17s look especially good. Very creative and well done.
Hey Nath - the overdone part all depends. First off a number of the planes were Pacific fighters - it would be hot and humid and that would go a long way to prematurely age the film. Also, wartime quality was generally less than your premium film/paper. I've seen gun camera shots that look pretty close to some of those.
Certainly there were higher quality pictures taken - the Wizard of Oz was 1939 wasn't it? - but a lot depended on storage environment.

it should be chosen as best photo in 2000 if there are Flak bursts in this. (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif)

Would be cool if we had gun camera film that looked like this .

Nicely done! (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)
I wish I was good enough to find some flaw in the pitcures, but I'm not. So I'll just enjoy them!
Thanks!!

For those who are interested in WW2 Photos:
The common "color" film at the time was Technicolor. (Wizard of Oz used this)
The pictures were shot simultaneously on 3 reels of B&W film in a large/complex camera.
Each reel was then developed and color dyed individually (R/B/G) then mated into a single reel. (UGH)
In 1935 Kodak introduced 16mm Kodachrome single process movie film and 35mm/28mm slide film.
In 1939 an improved version that lasted longer was produced. (the images were expected to last 15 years, BUT they have lasted OVER 60 years.)
Since the development process was hard to control in the field and due to the fact that the kodachrome movie film speed was 10(hard to shoot moving objects), it never caught on with the pros.
Kodak was requested to set up field stations for reconnaissance, but the processing problems killed that idea.
But the ordinary army/air/navy guys with an interest in photography, loved it.
They didn't take enough pictures to care how hard it was to develop.

Snoopi - did you ever get the chance to see a Jeff Ethell slide show at and airshow?
Absolutely amazing. I saw one at the Reno Air Races and another at an airshow in Marana, AZ. It was slide after slide of pictures just like what you posted. Very, very cool.
