[@NASS_0]

oh! Thanks !!

[@iroll]

Not to detract from the work that was done, but the reason it looks like that is because the original black & white footage has been heavily processed by AI. This is not the 1940s quality.

[@bardo0007]

@@iroll That is the point, thanks to AI , it's a part of the restoration process. So old film clips can look like new again. The cars, the people come closer to you, like you can almost touch them on the screen.

[@JeanPierreRheinault]

@@bardo0007 You haven't seen much of it. Here you have, for example, the original color recording in much better quality from 1938. Without AI. kzbin.info/www/bejne/fmm4cmlprrxnetE

[@iroll]

@@bardo0007 I agree with you on the ultimate experience of this film, but it's not a restoration and it's not exemplary of footage from the 1940s as shot then. AI cannot pull more information from the film than was already there, it fills in gaps with new information. It really should be called enhancement or impression. It's like those AI photo 'restoration' programs - if you've ever played with them, sometimes they are miraculous but many times they create faces for your folks that are clearly wrong from memory or other better pictures. If you didn't know the people, you wouldn't know the difference, but if you do then you know it's not really restoration. It's not a question of good or bad, just awareness that AI is the equivalent of "artist's impression."

This is the view from Haneda Airport to the Inaribashi bridge along the Ebitori gawa River after the war ended in 1945 Summer. The Haneda Airport building at that time was located on the site of the current Haneda Weather Observation Doppler Radar, and it was a small local airport where mainly light aircraft took off and landed.

[@johnc2438]

I believe you're correct, about the river. But I'd place the riverside locale just about where the monorail runs as it nears the modern Haneda airport. Glad Haneda is the beautiful airport that it is today! Love Japan -- salute from a retired U.S. Navy chief petty officer.

Boeing B-17s "flying fortress" bombers on the right at :33. My guess is that they were SB-17s which were search and rescue versions that could drop a detachable boat from their undersides for survivors of an aircraft ditching or a ship sinking. Many were stationed in Japan after WWII especially during the Korean War.

[@arthurart1]

The car following the camera car looked like a 47 or 48 Oldsmobile

[@johnc2438]

My guess would be no later than 1946 (maybe even as early as fall 1945), based on seeing a few Japanese men in army uniforms and a woman whose skirt length is "end-of-war" length (just below the knee). Would not most Japanese men have switched to civilian dress by 1948? There weren't many changes made to U.S. civilian autos until the late, late 1940's. I could be very wrong, of course, but late 1945 or sometime in 1946 is my guess.

[@janbonsema5888]

the blue Olds is a 1947 66. the young man did exactly the same as I used to do when I saw a parked olds of that vintage which s peering inside to check if it had the Hydramatic fitted.Most if not all , did. The splendid grey/light brown Buick rounding a corner, is a 1947 Super model. I had a black identical car once.
