Thank's for replying chester, i just got the film back from being transfeered to dvd, i am making some copies of it and i will send one to the j.w. Museum.i can get some negatives made of the stills if you are interested,they turned out pretty nice for being 50 yr old film.if anyone else would like copies i would be glad to make some.
See ya,

HI MY FATHER RECENTLY GAVE ME A 8mm COLOR FILM HE TOOK WHILE IN THE NAVY IN THE MID 50's.HE WAS ON THE AIRCRAFT CARRIER WHEN JW MADE THE WING'S OF EAGLES.IT IS THE DUKE POSING FOR PICTURES AND SIGNING AUTOGRAPHS FOR THE SAILORS.THERE IS EVEN A FEW SECONDS OF JW SITTING IN THE CHAIR THAT HE GETS TRANSPORTED IN AT THE END OF THE FILM.MY FATHER SHOT THIS AND SENT IT HOME TO HIS FAMILY AND HAD NEVER SEEN IT SINCE.BEFORE THIS HE HAD GIVEN ME A PHOTO OF THE DUKE ON THE DECK OF THE SHIP IN HIS MOVIE ATTIRE,AND I EVEN THINK JOHN FORD IS IN THE BACK GROUND.THE FILM IS IN GREAT SHAPE IT IS ABOUT 5min LONG,THE ONLY BAD THING WAS MY DAD WAS NOT IN THE FILM,HE NEVER THOUGHT ABOUT GIVING SOMEONE THE CAMERA.I AM CURRENTLY HAVING SOME OF FRAMES BEING MADE INTO NEGATIVES BY MY LOCAL PHOTO SHOP,THEY SAID THEY CAN TAKE PHOTOS OF EACH OF THE FRAMES I HAD PICKED OUT.I WILL THEN HAVE IT TRANSFERRED TO DVD.I THINK IT MAY HAVE SOME VALUE,PLEASE LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU THINK.THANK YOU,
