I returned from my trip this week.  I met up with Joe Duran in Los Angeles and we successfully transfered B-24 pilot Hap Kendall’s 67 year old 8mm film footage.  About 25% of the footage was in color and the rest was in beautiful black and white.  The guys at Spectra Film and Sound were great and really helped us clean up the footage and master it to digital media.  The film really gives you an insight to why the group was called “Ted’s Traveling Circus” early on in the war.  From the Rock of Gibraltar to the Pyramids in Egypt, it really gave you an inside look of the traveling that took place.  At the end of the session we started to really see how old the film was.  We started getting film breaks on the transfer machine due to the old cement splices and out of focus footage from warping of the film.  All in all it was very successful and we now have 55 minutes of never before seen footage of the 93rd!!
