But there's a lot I have. I was hoping for some new color B17 footage, but what they have is nearly all recycled from "Memphis Belle" (the original, not the Hollywood).
Some of the footage is clearly black & white that's been rather crudely colorized, but most of it is real color.
Although the footage is "restored", I don't see how that was done. A lot of the film is scratched and that is all left in. (Scratches and other defects can be removed by filling in the damage with what's on previous and subsequent adjacent frames.) Overall, though, it is great to see the stuff in color and in HD.
It's too bad, though, that nearly all the WW2 documentaries are from the American/British point of view. I'd like to see some from the Japanese, German, Soviet and Italian viewpoints.
