Help--WW2 News Reel Information Needed!!

Mon Dec 31, 2007 4:52 pm

OK, Guy's I need your help! A News Reel was released (WX15 May 31 1944). This Reel depicts 6 P-38 aces in New Guinea standing in front of Capt. Tommy Lynch's P-38 #10, my father is one on them. I saw this on the History Channel while talking about Maj. Dick Bong flying with the 39th Fighter Squadron. I have the photo of the group but have not been able to locate a copy of the News Reel. Can anyone help me with this? Thank You, (208) 324-3650 work number

We,ve just had a flurry of New Reel vids on here lately.

All from youtube. Here a thread where we posted some of the profile of those on You Tube who have a lot of New Reels in the collection of vids. If you're looking for a specific one I'd contact these people. If they don't have it then at the least they might know where to find it
