I taped it a million years ago. I had it on 16mm and used a vhs recorder to tape it. My uncle was a $1 a year man and would show movies and sell war bonds. When the war ended, he started sending the movies back until someone told him there was no record of them and he should keep them. So he had about 20 films. When I was living there, I would get the 16mm projector out on rainy days and play war films.Memphis bell (not that great)
The fleet that came to stay (very good, you see clips in 100s of Hwood movies)
The Penny (excellent, need to be remade)
"Captured Japanese film" (gruesome US propaganda)
The Burma Road (five stars! Reagan narrates)
destination Tokyo (not the hollywood version)
Some movie with straffing, don't remember the name
Some movie following Clark Gable around,
Some movie with a song about how great is it to "kill japs"
Diary of a seargent

My stepfather was a B26 pilot and got shot down and spent time in camp. Lots of stories there.
