At least the casino odds were better.

Actually this one belonged to a family member who was a runner in oregon at the time. I am currently digitizing their collection as well as another runner from the time. Within the next week or so I will be uploading a few dozen meets/races in oregon from around 1970-1974

Since nobody's going to answer, I'm going to guess and say that it's not significantly noteworthy. The owner of this film was going through his collection and when he saw a B-17 that had a name on it he was like "B-17 'Bouncing Betty' found on tape in 8mm "

@MoreFormosa Sorry for the late response! I wouldn't consider most things I digitize or post hugely significant on their own, but I enjoy saving media, I have A LOT to post. This footage is from a collection i found that's particularly excited me. About 25 reels of film from about 1940-1960, many of them contain footage of ww2 planes, specifically gliders. The collection belonged to a man named J.K. Hutchens. After some basic google research I determined he was a stealth glider test pilot for the military during WW2. I also have footage of this plane towing gliders. An enthusiastic in a plane facebook group found the planes deployment details and confirmed it was primarily used for the glider development program.

I thought the same thing.

The airborne shot is 100% Lowry AFB Denver. Shots on the ground could very well be Peterson.

Probably was turned into other aluminum products a long time ago....unless it was shot down.

@@lonzo61 That one had no dorsal turret, so it was likely no longer used in combat. It looks like an "E" model with an "F" model plexiglass nose installed. Surviving older war-weary birds were relegated to second line duty, used as parts birds, or sent back to the States to be used as training ships, transports, or patrol planes as newer models made out out into the field. It was probably used as a transport aircraft within CONUS and, unfortunately, likely scrapped at the end of the war.

@@meatpopsicle1567 Like I said, er wrote, that plane along with nearly every other combat aircraft of that era was smelted down after they were deemed obsolete by the USAAF or USAF. Some types served on for years after the war in various capacities, but most of them became scrap eventually. The beer you had last night probably came in an alu can that at one time was (following many smeltings) one of these planes. Well, maybe.....

She was in Cleveland hosting Romper Room in the 60's. 😉😂🤣

@@ursamajor7468 I remember her. I was five, but I thought her show was a show for babies, so I never wanted to watch it.

I saved the majority of my collection from ending up at the dump. My main goal is to preserve them for the historical record. As of right now it's only costing me time. Unfortunately paying to have them done professionally isn't an option, at least at the moment

Back before Ronald Reagan emptied the psychiatric hospitals and cut all their funding

@@LostAudioArchive Good point!

Before EV.

Approximately 1950, default settings without post processing. I didn't clean the film firs, that's something I'm going to try out when I have time. Other than frequent jams (I think I can improve it by tinkering with the film gate), I am pretty happy with the quality. Check out the last few videos I've uploaded. They are scanned and processed with a program called film9. I am very happy with the results
