It's a great film, One I had not seen either till my dad sent it to me in an email last week.

I thought it went along nicely with this http://www.aafo.com/hangartalk/showthread.php?t=9822 thread, and I posted it there.

Besides the historical footage that was filmed in technocolor, there appears to be some gun camera footage of real Japanese planes, like what I think is a Betty, being shot down. They must have had the technology in 1945 to color B and W gun camera film?

Haven't watched the film yet, but hand coloring of stills, and later movie film goes back to the origins of photography.
