And people wonder why Kodachrome endured until the last batch rolled out of Kodak labs.

Just seeing those images of American men and women producing the equipment needed for the war effort at a time when Made In USA didn't just stand for something; it stood for everything, sent shivers down my spine. As the first generation offspring of Jewish refugees from Europe, I wish they were all alive so I could thank each and every one of them for helping to send Hitler's third reich to the "recycle bin" of world history

There's something about film which digital never quite captures

Compare these pics of young people and factory workers to today's generation X and organized labor groups and you will fear for our country WHEN we are again faced with another challenge the magnitude of WWII. (and decide to do something about it rather than wring our hands, say the perpetrators will be brought to justice and form a committee to "investigate" what terrorist organization was behind it it.)

Makes me shudder as a former Vietnam Marine to see how far our country has spiraled in a mere 70 years.

Kodachrome wins again. Also they are super sharp 4X5 that's why.

I've seen these pictures many times and I still find them fascinating each time they show up. There's something I've missed from the last view every time I look at them.

You're right they have been around for sometime. They are always nice to see and so clear, crisp, and amazingly sharp.

I was amazed at the condition and quality, and crispness of the photos even today

digital will never duplicate the quality of kodachrome images; unfortunately, advanced technology in film processing and now digital caused the demise of kodachrome; the last lab that processed kodachrome is no longer processing it.

I miss Kodachrome. Heck, I miss Kodak too.
