THE BATTLE OF BRITAIN
The Luftwaffe's mass and indiscriminate bombing of Britain began on August 6, 1940 and continued unabated until mid-1941 when it ended abruptly. Despite the
determined British resistance that inflicted 2 to 1 air losses on the Luftwaffe and convinced Hitler that the mass bombing was too costly; Nazi intelligence failed to
perceive that British defenses were on the verge of breaking. Supervised by Edmund Reek and narrated by Lowell Thomas, this is a collection of Fox Movietone
newsreels. Loaded with spectacular footage of air bombers, explosions., fires and combat, Movietone also show the graveyard of Nazi planes turned back into
weapons against them. A helium balloon is destroyed in the air in a fireball! London in ruins, the King as well as Winston Churchill tour the wreckage. First pictures
of the havoc in Coventry ! The House of Commons is blasted in a savage attack on London! Churchill proclaims a fight to the end against Hitler in his own eloquent
way at St. James Palace in London.

BUFFALO BILL'S WILD WEST SHOW (1898-1902)
William F. Cody ("Buffalo Bill")....Indian fighter, soldier, Pony Express rider, Army scout and hunter, was the principal character in scores of books and dime novels carrying not only his by-line but those of such prolific writers as Ned Buntline and Col. Prentiss Ingraham. In 1873, at the urging of Buntline, Cody finally consented to appear on the stage in "The Scouts of the Plains" which was a short playlet that Buntline planned to write. The theater appealed to Cody, and during the next eight years he toured in such offerings as The Red Right Hand, or Buffalo Bill's First Scalp for Custer; The Knight of the Plains, or Buffalo Bill's Last Trail, and Twenty Days, or Buffalo Bill's Last Stand. They apparently had trouble deciding on titles back then! During this period, Cody had the idea of forming a Wild West show that would play major cities at spots like Madison Square Garden in New York and would show the life of the Indians, the scouts and the trappers and tell the story of the Pony Express. In May, 1883, Cody opened his first Wild West show in Omaha. Annie Oakley and her husband Frank Butler joined the show and success grew throughout the years.

CHICAGO'S CENTURY OF PROGRESS EXPO  (1933-34)
Chicago's "Century of Progress Exposition" of 1933 and 1934 actually got under way on January 5, 1928, when a non-profit corporation was organized. Between that
date and the opening of the Fair in 1933 came the stock market crash of 1929 and the depression in 1932. Yet, for all of the financial difficulties of the time and the high level of unemployment, the 1933 period of the Fair was so obviously a success that, well before the season was over, it was decided to contnue and expand the Exposition for the 1934 season. Scenes include a panoramic view of the fair sweeping in from Lake Michigan, with the Michigan Avenue skyline, the Avenue of Flags,
the Sky-Ride which offered a thrilling 200-feet above the lagoon, an authentic replica of Old Fort Dearborn of 1803, the house of tomorrow. It had a circular glass house and predictions about construction, some of which would come true. The Golden Temple of Jehol transported Fair visitors to eighteenth century China. The Italian Pavilion, the Belgian Village with folk dance demonstrations, the Maya Temple, the American Indian village, the Ukranian Village, the streets of Paris, the Hall of
Sciences, the Travel and Transportation building, the General Motors Exhibition and much more. The exhibit even offered an automobile assembly line - primitive by today's standards -- where visitors saw the engine placed in the chassis, the body mounted, gasoline put in the tank and the finished car driven off the line. Five acres
of land known as the "Enchanted Island", were set aside especially for the children with roller coasters, Ferris wheels, train rides, etc.

DISASTERS AT SEA
The "TAHITI" and the "MORRO CASTLE" tragedies are captured by Fox Movietone News. The "Tahiti" of the Union Lines, one of the largest ships plying the
Pacific, left Wellington, New Zealand, August 12, 1930, with 175 passengers and a crew of 142. The vessel got into trouble on August 16. 460-miles south of
Rarotonga, Cook Islands. It lost it's starboard propeller and tail shaft and began to leak. More than 300 passengers were rescued. Scenes of the rescue and the ship sinking highlight the first half of this newsreel. The next segment features "The Morro Castle" disaster. At 11,250 tons, it was a new ship of the Ward Lane in "terry" service between New York and Havava. She was driven by turbo-electric power which was briefly popular at the time. On the night of September 8, 1934,  two days out
of  Havana, her captain collapsed and died. The same night, off the New Jersey coast, fire broke out in the library. Rushing to the scene were Coast Guard cutters and
the British liner "Monarch of Bermuda". Towlines were secured to the cutter "Tampa". Then a north-easterly wind arose plowing the Morro Castle ashore at Asbury Park, N.J. It took eight days to fully extinguish the fire. There were 133 deaths! Fox Movietone cameras capture the drama from both the sea and aerial cameras.

EIGHTY-SECOND AIRBORNE DIVISION
This is the saga of daring and courage of the 82nd Airborne Division which became justly famous during World War 2 for its fine fighting traditions. Calistenics, rifle range, glider loading, practice jumps and crash landings were all a part of the rigorous training for the 82nd Airborne. The 82nd  Airborne had its initiation in Sicily on July 1943. When the Germans were trying to break up  the Allied beachhead at Salerno in September of 1943, the 82nd was sent in as shown in newsreel footage. The 82nd troops were the first Americans to enter Naples on October 1, 1943. Through mud, mud, and more mud --- the 82nd fought with the Fifth Army in Italy. The
division was then shipped back to the British Isles, except for one combat team which remained in the Anzio Beachhead through four long months of agony in early
1944. Extensive preparations were made for the BIG ONE --- going into Normandy just before D-Day. On the night of June 5th, the 82nd, along with other airborne divisions, American and British, moved out silently and swiftly. The mission was to disrupt the German defenses and assist the amphibious landings on Utah Beach.
For 33 days the airborne divisions continued to fight to help assure a firm Allied foothold on the continent of Europe. Great actual action scenes of the battles. 
On Sept. 17th the three airborne divisions were sent into Holland to establish it as a jumping-off position for the drive to Berlin. The Dutch pitched in to help. The offensive progressed well until the Allies reached the Nijmegen Bridge across the lower Rhine. It took 3 days to secure the bridge as brutal movie footage shows. Suddenly in Dec. 1944, the Germans struck without warning in a major counteroffensive in the Ardennes region of Belgium and Luxembourg. The 82nd was rushed
into help hold the Northern shoulder of what came to be known as "The Bulge". In January, 1945, the Allies cracked the Siegfried Line. As the offensive moved swiftly
toward Berlin, the 82nd returned to the Cologne area in April and smashed across the Rhine in a raid that won a Presidential citation. On May 3, 1945, the 82nd Airborne took 145,000 prisoners. The war was over! The 82nd participated in 7 campaigns, 7 river crossings, 4 combat jumps and 2 glider landings. An all-American division fighting for the American way of life.

FLYING AROUND THE BIG GAME - An airplane animal adventure documentary
Marvelous arial photography  in an airplane that travels to film various wild animals including wildebeests, impala, zebra and all the many varieties of plains game.
They fly low over a herd of eland and find they were only momentarily frightened after the airplane had passed them. They pass through the best giraffe country in Africa. Great on the ground photography as well. Next to lion country. The lions accepted the huge plane and their peculiar markings of giraffe spots and zebra stripes
as merely a part of the scenery. The photographers next find themselves in a district thick with rhino. One rhino charges the airplane but then decides the plane is bigger. Finding the decorated plane too much of a puzzle, the rhino moves along. Also in rhino country are the people if the Masai tribe in the midst of a strange ceremony. Rhinoceros had been killing their cattle, and lately two old women of the tribe had been gored to death, so these warriors decided to chase the rhinos from their territory. The natives have an intense hatred for the rhino, who disregard their property and viciously kill their families. It was a grim fight. Hour after hour, charge after counter-charge, the rhins are gradually pushed on and away from the Masai villages. Moving on, the photographers found beautiful rivers, great cataracts and waterfalls. An entire family of elephants head for the forest and the dense jungle.A tropical storm threatens the safety of the flight crew and the plane lands in Pygmy country They

GAUMONT GRAPHIC (1918-1919) Clips from early newsreels
The first regular newsreels were issued in 1912. By 1919, there were a number in distribution in the U.S. But other than for the names "Pathe" and "Universal", none carried through to the fading days of the newsreel which followed the advent of television in the late 1940's and early 1950's. Gaumont, a British company, was one of
the popular sources for  dramatic and factual films for the nickelodeans in the years before W.W. 1. With the coming of the War, production in England virtually ceased, and American activity was limited to little more than the newsreels bearing the company name. Released on a State's rights basis, most of these shown are from either late 1918 or 1919.San Diego, CA - visitor's day on warships; U.S.S.

KINOGRAMS
A collector's edition edited from items in several issues of Kinograms from the early 1920's.
Kinograms appeared on the scene about the same time as W.W.1 first being released through the exchanges of World Film Corporation. Then, in late 1919, distribution was shifted to Selznick Corporation's Republic exchanges. By 1927, most important studios such as Paramount and M.G.M. introduced their own newsreels. The impact on Kinograms was fatal and by the dawn of sound they were gone from the screen. Highlights of this reel include; Sir Thomas Lipton and his fast Yachts, Army Airplane smashed to bits; with motors running at full speed, they dash down incline and crash into wall; Army conducts these tests at Wilbur Wright Field to try and find way to prevent fires and explosions that follow plane crashes.

NAVAJO NIGHT WITCH
Here's a nice little documentary produced by George and William Allen. Men who study race migrations say that the Navaho of the Painted Desert is a Mongol who, ages ago, crossed Siberia- then the ice flows of the Bering Sea stopped in Alaska a long time - and finally wandered slowly down the Pacific Coast to his present home. Scenes of their day-to-day life are shown. A winter "hogan" built of earth and logs with  the door always facing east as protection against the cold west winds. The "hogan" was designed to blend in with it's surroundings as a protective measure against attack. Valued for the closeness of weave and originality of design, the Navajo blanket is considered by collectors to be the most artistic of all Indian blankets. Deft hands creating a design which shall tell with a striking primitive power, the hope, longings, prayers and aspirations of the weaver. The men, women and children wear their hair in a double knot at the back of their head. Sheep and goats graze the plains and mesas, tended by the children. Also profiled is "Grey Hat", an ancient warrior 104 years old. His deeds as scout under Kit Carson, during the Apache war are legend. Turquoise necklaces, hammered silver coin buttons, buckles and bracelets are among the ornaments worn by the Navajo. As with all primitives, superstition plays a large part in the life of the Navajo. The gentle baby owl or "Night Witch" is supposed to harbor an evil spirit. So, the family decide that the young boy who has made a pet of the owl must return it to it's nest. Holding their customs, tribal laws and religion with courage against the fatal influences of a civilization they do not understand, these Arabs of the Sun live currently as in the dateless past.

THE TRUE GLORY - Chapter 4  "The Liberation of Paris"
Photographed by combat cameramen of the United States, Canada, France, Poland, Belgium, Netherlands, Czecho-Slovakia, Norway and Great Britain.
After a decisive breakthrough, the Allied Strategists moved swiftly. American armor was to drive east and northeast to surround and take the German Caen divisions
in the rear. But with characteristic speed, the enemy moved all available armor and reserves from the Caen area hoping to cut behind our breakout troops. A great force exploded toward Mortain and on August 7th the enemy began a fierce counterattack. For six hours, non stop, the RAF pounded the German armor heading west. Take-off, attack, land, re-fuel, re-arm and take-off again! Allied plans moved forward. The U.S. 9th Air Force and the RAF destroyed great numbers of enemy vehicles. Equipped with rocket-firing devices, the RAF  Typhoons made low flying attacks which were of vast assistance to the Allied infantry. Thousands of Germans surrendered as they were caught in the gap which the Allies were closing swiftly. Great aerial photography of these bombing raids here! American tanks continued their rapid advance toward Paris and the upper Seine. Before the advancing Allied troops, the Germans were fleeing helter skelter in retreat along side the roads littered with their smoldering gear. A well delineated map is a must for a modern mechanized army traveling at high speed. However, the Allies were moving so swiftly they kept going right off the map! And still our tanks rolled on into the unscarred country. Finally, 10 tons of maps had to be dropped by parachute to reach the advancing forces! In the words of one French soldier, "We, in the LeClerc Division, were fighting in the Normandy fields when suddenly the order came! Go to Paris, it said, ad take it". The division started rushing the roads at 4 a.m. with the American Air Forces protecting the skies. At the beginning of August, Paris was seized by rumors. The one thing that could be confirmed was that the Germans were beginning to leave the city. When the free French forces inside Paris began staging their uprisings, the Allies moved quickly to their support. French flags began to appear at every window! General de Gaulle, as the symbol of French resistance made a triumphant entry. On August 25th the German garrison commander in Paris surrendered. The liberation of Paris had a great impact on people everywhere. The enemy had lost 400,000 --captured, killed or wounded. Their material losses were tremendous. But the German Army had not
yet reached the stage of mass collapse.

THE TRUE GLORY - Chapter 7 "The Final Victory"
Photographed by combat cameramen of the United States, Canada, France, Poland, Belgium, Netherlands, Czecho-Slovakia, Norway and Great Britain.
All during the Battle of the Bulge, Allied strategists continued their plans for final offensive blows. After the Germans were effectively curbed in the bulge, men and supplies moved rapidly toward the west bank of the Rhine. The Allied drive for final victory was on! The air forces were waging an effective drive on the east bank of
the Rhine. But the Germans had blown many bridges before retreating. When the assaulting Americans reached the river at Remagen on March 7th, they were amazed to find that the Ludendorff Bridge was still standing. By March 9th, the Remagen bridgehead area had been enlarged until it was more than three miles deep. In the North, Montgomery executed a brilliant assault on the Rhine. Crossings were made by boat during the night of March 23rd. An airborne attack followed the next morning. The success of Montgomery's operation sealed the fate of the enemy. Allied engineers quickly installed floating Treadway bridges across the Rhine. One of our finest pieces of equipment, these bridges were capable of sustaining tremendous military loads. Because of its great industrial potential, the Ruhr pocket was the first big objective across the Rhine. According to one American pilot. "We in the heavies sealed it off. Then the ground forces wrapped it up". By April 1st, the Rhur was completely surrounded and its garrison was trapped. Prisoners of war are rescued. Marching deeper into Germany, many of our troops met hordes of displaced persons from allover Europe. Ike, after seeing the horrors of concentration camps  urges an inquiry into Nazi brutality.

LAND OF THE NILE
Produce by Carl W. Dudley. Here in Egypt, ancient cradle of many civilizations, a 20th century plane stands out in dramatic contrast to the camel caravan, which outdates man's memory. Five times each day, faithful Mohammedans face to Mecca for prayer---a ritual they have been performing for centuries. Capital of all Egypt, Cairo is a thoroughly metropolitan city with it's world-famous Shepheard's Hotel...its new emphasis on modern architecture...it's faithful adherence to the minarets and mosques of ancient times. Along the narrow streets of the Bazaar District, artisans ply their trades. Merchants of every nationality display their wares. One of the world's most important inter-ocean waterways, the Suez Canal controls much of the destiny of the Middle East and beyond. Speeding by rail through the Nile Valley, we see a countryside of irrigated, well-cultivated fields. Even before the Greeks became a nation, Egypt's civilization was already old and rich. Many of the hieroglyphics have been translated, adding much to our knowledge of the ancient Pharaohs and the people they ruled. Along the banks of the Nile River, the massive temples and columns of Luxor give evidence of ancient man's engineering genius. Also shown are the pyramids and the mighty Sphinx. It is believed that some 100,000 slaves spent 20 years building this architectural triumph but the secret of its construction has disappeared with the ages.
