I love the wow and flutter in the sound of these old films. : )

THANKS for uploading! Great close ups. I've been wanting to see some US Government films on aircraft instruments for a long time ....

Not complete without that good old govt. training film music track...

I've noticed that WWII aircraft attitude indicators were all black, versus modern indicators that are colored blue (for the sky) and brown or black (for the ground). Was there a specific reason for this? Or it is a case that nobody (i.e. US, German, Russian, or Japanese plane manufacturers) thought of doing that, at the time?

First they needed a reliable gage. Then they think about making it “nice.”

What a mish-mash. I have been flying for fifty years Never in an aircraft which did not have a standard layout.
