According to the book description of War Wings: Films of the First Air War, “Ever wish you could see a World War I Curtiss “Jenny” do a triple loop? How about a squadron of American-made DH-4 “Liberty” bombers taking off on a mission over the front? You can, in glorious black-and-white—shot on location by the military's own movie makers, using state of the art (1918-style) wooden boxes with crude brass-encased glass lenses, metal hand cranks, and cumbersome tripods. Thousands of WWI-related motion picture reels sit in the vaults at the National Archives and Records Administration facility in College Park, Maryland—but only 71 titles contain aviation footage. This amazing real-time visual history of the first ever air war could have been lost to time. Luckily, with the publication of WAR WINGS: Films of the First Air War, you can locate those needles in the giant haystack of the Archives, and know precisely what moving images are on each reel. “Absolutely indispensable to a student of World War I aviation. I wish I had it when co-founding Wingspan, the Air & Space Channel…Phil Stewart’s succinct real by reel, scene by scene, analysis is complemented by a wonderful index.” —Walter J. Boyne, Author and National Aviation Hall of Fame Enshrinee. “Allows the reader to almost watch the films themselves unroll…the next best thing to seeing the films themselves.” —Leonard E. Opdycke, Author, Editor, and Publisher. WAR WINGS chronicles over 2,550 individual scenes of filmed action—while hundreds more are summarized. Scenes of pilot training, airplane manufacturing, fighting in the skies over France, and the post-Armistice testing of enemy airplanes, were all captured on film during 1917-1919. This superbly-researched landmark work is a boon to scholars, librarians, museum curators, historians, students of film, and those interested in genealogy. The detailed information contained within the pages of this invaluable research tool provides an accurate and timeless word-picture record of the aviation-related moving images of the "War to End All Wars."

According to the book description of Projected History, “Projected History: A Catalog of the U.S. National Stories Released by Universal Newsreel, Volume I, 1929-1930, is a new book by motion picture film sleuth Phillip W. Stewart, that will interest students of history, film and genealogy. This well-researched landmark work details over 1275 nationally released newsreel titles that covered the first two years of what was known back then as the Universal Newspaper Newsreel. One of the great benefits of Projected History is that all the Universal Newsreel stores that are known to exist today within the film vaults of the National Archives are noted. This is the first time that the newsreel title, description and story availability have been brought together in a single resource. Before there was television, there was the newsreel. People saw the news twice every week in their neighborhood movie theaters. From the 1900's to the mid-1960's, the major American newsreel companies covered world events, politics, sports, fashion, and whatever else might entertain the movie audience. Today, newsreels offer a fascinating and unique look at that era and are a primary source of visual history. Out of the five major sound newsreels that documented America and the World from 1929 to 1967, only one is owned by the American people, royalty-free, and readily accessible for your review and use - the Universal Newsreel. Motion picture film consultant, TV producer, and retired USAF Officer, Phillip W. Stewart has spent over 20 years reviewing hundreds of rare films at the National Archives and Records Administration. Projected History is his third book on historic films.”
