[Milsurplus] USAAF WW2 Photo Recon unit home movies

[Hue Miller]

I found this link posted on a militaria website:

basically what it is, is 44 minutes of home movies made by someones in a 
USAAF photo recon unit, WW2.
The camera man or men had access to the tools, hence the home movies, non 
official USAAF film.
It is apparently without audio (or I really flubbed it. ) It is largely 
COLOR. There are NO combat scenes so
that plus the lack of sound means you probably have to be really into this 
subject to stick it out. BUT the
cameraman has at times a real artistic flair and MANY of the scenes would 
make beautiful outtake stills.
Here are some scene notes with approx elapsed time from start:

6:       B-17 maintenance at provisional airfield in Missouri
8:       arrive in U.K.
12:     loading cameras in B-17
15:     P-47
16:     Lanc takeoff
17:     Practice bombing
21:     view of bombing radar screen. Date to side, 14-4-45. Partial view of 
unit designation "776th A/ ???"
          view of running clock and elapsed ? counter. What are those?
23:40 B-17 landing in snow
23:50 crew exiting B-17 with flak damage
25:30 burning B-17
26:20 B-24
32:40 loading bomb
33:20 B-17s taxiing and takeoff
35:     bombing mission, on way back, crossing bombed landscape
43:     troop ship, WELCOME HOME at port
44:    ship lamp signaler

Again, this is not an edge of your seat shoot-em-up. But - many great scenes 
and good color
