I haven't watched it, but from what I gather they would use remote control drones for target practice in WW2...but am not exactly sure. These are screen shots from the seller of the film. The goddamn 'pay by the second' stock footage people would have loved to get this one. They are always pestering me after I beat them out of a film on eBay. They write me or have the eBay seller write me to offer 'free scans' if I will sign away rights to them to sell it...by the second. **(obscenity removed)** them! I hate stock footage people. Sure, we need them to see some of history. But you can only see it...if you pay by the second. Stock footage people make films unaffordable for the average Jane, Joe or zir to buy. I always enjoy telling them NO, I am not interested. If they were not in it for the $, then sure they can have a film to scan for free. Or if I had a decent scanner, I'd give them a 4K scan for free. Money and profit have nothing to do with my work. But I check them out thoroughly to make sure they are not in it for the $$. The only time money enters the picture with me is when I ask myself if I have enough money to do a project or acquire something. In any case, I still would never give a film to someone to scan without a big deposit. Or they would have to prepay for me getting a high-grade timed 4K scan from a commercial scanner. I've dealt with tons of people over the years. People are getting worse when it comes to honesty and ethics, not better. Now, it is not like I'm some sort of purist that thinks money and profit is evil. Money is stored energy. You need money to operate. But chasing profit can destroy the spirit. Like is short and I'm old. Consequently, I only like to work on projects I want to. I don't want to be working on crappy projects other people want me to work on just for $$. I did plenty of that work when I was younger. Thoreau sums it up... "Trade curses everything it handles; and though you trade in messages from heaven, the whole curse of trade attaches to the business." This film also insirped me to figure out a way to distinguish important films in the archive. I printed up a bunch of 5 star red labels and can see them easily now. I used to use a piece of red artists tape, but I like the red stars better. <><><><> Daniel D. Teoli Jr. Archival Collection Daniel D. Teoli Jr. Small Gauge Film Archive Daniel D.
