Gene and Charlie Jones, NBC-TV’s famous twin team, examine one of their Bell & Howell “70” cameras in a Korean forward area.

These movies were filmed under exceedingly tough and dangerous conditions. In fact, when Gene Jones was wounded in the chest at the Inchon invasion, he had to inch his way back to the beachhead through hundreds of yards of severe fire . . . protecting the pre¬ cious film in his B&H “70” for NBC-TV News Caravan viewers. Here’s what the Jones Twins say about their Bell & Howell Cameras in a letter to Robert McCormick of NBC: “...We try to ship or shoot 500 feet per day. The Bell & Howell is a rugged little camera.
