Identification of Axis Aircraft Film Collection

This collection contains 8 movies and is Over 1 hour of video.

These US Signal Corps training films were shown to Military Personnel

In order to train them to identify enemy aircraft during war time.


Film Quality on this collection is fair to poor with the slides shown here being indicative of the overall quality. The poor sections of film are due to a lack of contrast from fading over time. We have preserved these for their historical significance and feel they are so unique that despite lack of high quality masters they are still very worthwhile.
