As the Air Force extended its striking power to every front, the training, equipping and orienting of technicians and air crews increased the demands for training film production to such an extent that the First Motion Picture Unit now has ten production crews shooting at all times." Much of the work of teaching AAF technicians has been accomplished by a type of film dubbed "Nuts and Bolts" pictures. Consisting of basic, factual instruction, they are designed to illustrate "how to do it" and range from such subjects as "Trouble Shooting of the Flectro-Turbosupercharger Regulator" and "Alignment of the Astro Compass" to "Aircraft Hoisting."

The First Motion Picture Unit is now completing a large series of these projects. ★ ★ ★ More than 14,000 feet of 16mm.

Those who are content to expose film haphazardly and who fail to see the element of continuity in daily events just waiting to be expanded into an interesting film story, never, never will make rr.ovies of prize winning calibre. Movie makers whose films still lack the lustre of continuity and story telling value will do well to explore the subject further. Its a grand feeling once you get the hang of it and brother cinebugs, as a result, shower compliments on your filming efforts. strengthens the speculation that latter company will emerge one of the stronf er contenders in the field of cine equl ment in the postwar era. Henry R. Luce of Time-Life-Fortune publications who has been active in acquiring interests in the 16mm. motion picture field, was recently reported buying into International Projectors Corp'n. With sale of its projectors, it is understood that Ampro Corporation will bow out of the cine equipment field, devoting its facilities to manufacture of products developed since company's entry into war production. ★ ★ ★ Castle Films broke all existing records in rushing a motion picture report to the public on the historic invasion of Fortress Europe by using air express to ship prints to all sections of the United States, except areas within overnight train service. For the first time in the history of the home movie industry, finished prints were started from New York by air express to all sections of the United States on June 21, with the result that projector owners as far west as the Pacific Coast had their own personal film record of the two most important events of our time by the evening of the 22nd. ★ ★ ★ In order to keep the cameras in the held in a going condition at the outset of the war, the Fairchild Camera and Equipment Corporation set up a comprehensive service department, with camera technicians stationed in every battle area and with every photo reconnaissance squadron, instructing the "Photo Joes" in methods of combating bugaboo of moisture and fungus in photographic equipment.
