Imperial War Museum Second World War Flip Book: Spitfire

The Imperial War Museum`s archive is home to more than 20,000 hours of moving image material spanning the twentieth century in Britain. The clips range from documentary film and official newsreels, to unedited combat footage, and amateur shots. Originally, the films could only be viewed through Mutoscope machines that were used in the late nineteenth century and functioned much like a flipbook, giving life to a series of motionless images. The Mutoscope did not project images on a screen, rather the machine was used by one person at a time. To recreate the experience of watching these historical film reals, some of the most compelling scenes have been reproduced in these action-filled flipbooks. As you flip through the “Spitfire Flipbook,” you`ll come face to face with a 1940s Spitfire plane flying through the air. The single seat fighter aircraft dips and dives at lightning speeds as the pages progress. The Spitfire was the most popular airplane during the Battle of Britain and was used as both a fighter-bomber and for training. Capturing the action of old-time film strips, these flipbooks will be a delight for both children and adults, transporting those who flip the pages to Britain`s wartime past.
