It's 1943, 6 months ago you back at home trying to figure out where to
take your sweetheart next Friday.
But your in the war now. You're part of a Signal Corps Photographic
Unit.
Uncle Sam gave you free training, a colt 45 side arm, and a Speed
Graphic.
Just what kind of film is in that camera right now? Pack film, for
sure, but it won't be Tri-x would it?
Might it be ortho? Hey the flyboys use that stuff to cut through the
haze, but would ground troops use it?
