1950s Fairchild C-119 Boxcar USAF Switzerland Vintage 8mm Home Movie Film
Estate Sale Find
Approx 45 seconds long; footage from a reel labeled "Scotty in Route - Switzerland", showing C-119 on the runway, being fueled/loaded, and scenes of the nearby buildings and control tower.
I believe it to be 50s based on other films accompanying it, it is certainly mid-late 50s. Most were 1955-1958, during time a US military couple was stationed in Europe, Germany in particular.
Film played ok for me and does not appear to have any vinegar smell to it, but it is vintage, going on 70+ years old, and inherently is at risk like any old film for issues with condition and integrity.
*Note - film may or may not come on reels, it may be coiled in paper envelope. Varies based on how it was found and length.
