January, 1938 • American Cinematographer
unharmed by 800-foot fall!
Eyemo Camera Dropped by Newsreel Cameraman, Al Mingalone, in Sensational Runaway Flight Recovered Uninjured
• The press, in September, carried the story of the balloons which broke loose from their mooring, carrying with them Paramount News cameraman Al Mingalone. It related how he was brought to ground by the puncturing of the balloons with rifle fire from the ground. But there is an interesting sequel to the story.
With him, Mingalone carried a Bell & Howell Eyemo. After the guy rope broke, releasing him to the mercy of the skies, he was forced to drop this Eyemo from a height of 800 feet.
Pictures, Inc. photo of Al Mingalone, Paramount newsreel cameraman, just before guy rope broke, releasing him for a 13-mile runaway flight. Mingalone was brought to ground safely when the balloons were punctured by rifle shots fired from the ground by Rev. James J. Mullen
The camera was later recovered, \ freed of the mud into which it had fallen, and found upon thorough inspection to be wholly intact without the slightest injury.
Lest we be misunderstood, we believe that in this remarkable instance Mr. Mingalone's thanks to the Eyemo's sturdy construction should be shared with a kind Providence.
The Eyemo owes much of its favor among professional newsreel cameramen to its sturdy construction, its ability to stand up in grueling newsreel service. Small and compact, the Eyemo permits getting scenes impossible with larger cameras, yet can be equipped with many of the refinements of studio cameras. Mail the coupon for detailed information.
