Garage Sale Orphan - War Birdz Air Show 50 Years Ago

I have a collection of vintage video (8mm/16mm) movie film people no longer want. Sometimes they come from garage / estate sales or people aren't interested in having the things transferred. As with slides and photos I tell folk if you're throwing them away anyways hand them over to me and I'll scan / digitize these orphans and send off anything of historical or enthusiast nature to the proper organizations that'd be interested in having them for reference. Aircraft with visible tail numbers / markings, ships, trains, busses, buildings and places. Such was this case. Found in amongst your typical home movies of Christmas and vacations was this air show of Super 8 movie film from 1971 as evidenced by the processing date code. You'll see the typical dye shifting that happens with film. The alternating video has initial color correcting done using Davinci Resolve to see what possibilities lurk out there. The initial capture was done in 1080 HD ProRes 442. Scanning the film again has the final capture being done in 4096 4K ProRes 442 HQ now that I know this portion is worthy of additional attention. Too bad the cameraman was inattentive and lazy in hitting focus but he never imagined people would be watching his effort worldwide some 50 years later. (Call out the aircraft @ timecode you recognize. I see a B17, B24 Mitchell, P38 Lightning, maybe a Marauder)
