Title: The New Film - Question
Post by: Leon R White on February 16, 2019, 11:53:42 AM
I have received the email announcement regarding the new film and the digitization etc.  In the picture of the plane and the highlighted area of the possible patch, there appears to be another panel of some kind with several screws in it. It is just below the left hand lower corner of the patch area.  Is that some kind of standard panel for these planes?

thanks
Leon

Here's another picture of the patch.  As you can see, there's no panel.

Ric,

What is the running time of the film and will you be posting it on the forum some time in the future?

And where is that picture from (date too)?

That's from taxiing for takeoff from Miami, June 1, 1937.

What resolution will the photograph(s)/film be digitized? Or will a second generation continuous tone photo/negative be made?

The film will be scanned at 4K resolution for forensic purposes.  A second generation broadcast-quality copy will also be made.

We won't know the exact running time until we see it but it runs several minutes.  We won't be showing it publicly any time soon due to pending possible media deals.
