August 1944 - B-17 Bombing Mission on the Brest Area

Hopefull this works. It is a segment of a home 8mm movie film taken in August 1944 from inside a B-17 of the 381st BG (533rd BS).

Keep in mind the orignal film is over 60 years old

I would appreciate any feedback as to both the picture and the sound was seen and heard.

Did the sound come thru as well ???

Also, the picture of Marilyn, most likely K-2, Taegu ... don't remember the date other than early 50's.

Neat! It's great the the internet is allowing these treasures to be shared so easily. I can't help but wonder how many priceless photos and home movies have simply been tossed in the trash by relatives after the Vets pass on.

Have three more clips .... Flak over Brux, Bing Crosby visits Ridgewell and war torn London.

Will post them most likely on Tuesday.

Glad they were enjoyed
