This volume contains...
Indo-China war footage. Pretty interesting.
A soldier comes back with a little korean boy he's adopted. He's even got an american soldiers uniform on. Awww, don't we wish we all could do that?
One of the Dionne quintuplets, the most famous quints ever, gets more press coverage as she joins a convenent. She kisses them all goodbye, and her mother, who sold her down the river in the first place.
After that, we have footage of a plane attempting to land on a snow covered mountain (which apparently is the first time this has been done)
Somore more planes, as we see more faster models for jet planes.
We then see a pretty amazing replication of a famous clock made by what looks like Mecchano sets by a high school class. Pretty neat!
A marionnette troupe is featured next. I kept thinking 'Being John Malkovich' and "The Sound Of Music" obviously.
After that, a pretty curious historic relic. The US Blimp fleet is showcased, patrolling New York with their hyrogen filled machines of war! Ooh! Scary!
Another trip to Australia, where we see a cross country race by automobile. Pretty entertaining to see the different climates these vehicles had to go through. Not bad.
Finally, we finish it with a trip to Rochester's Eastman house and their museum of photography. Great old cameras and photos are seen. I'm going there (seriously) next week, so this gets me excited.
