smkoush Posted August 12, 2010 Share #1 Posted August 12, 2010 Advertisement (gone after registration) Hi everyone, Perhaps you know about this already, but I came across the following collection, Captured: America in Color from 1939-1943 – Plog Photo Blog and I was wondering what film this might be. I suspect it is Kodachrome, does anybody know? Aside from that, the photographs are amazing, it is not very often that we get to see color from that era. Best regards, Savvas 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

archi4 Posted August 12, 2010 Share #2 Posted August 12, 2010 Savvas, Thanks so much for this link. I also suspect these were taken on Kodachrome. I think this was the only slide film available to civilians during the war years. Agfachrome and the U.S. version made by Ansco (Anscochrome) was not available to civilians.
