SEEKING WWI PLANE FIGHT ARCHIVAL FOOTAGE....POSTERS

[Writer - Researcher]

Hello,

I'm helping a researcher for a production company in St. John's,
Newfoundland, Canada. They are producing a documentary on early aviation,
especially WWI and the years following.

I need help as to where to obtain "dog fight" images/video of WWI plane
fights. I know that the Imperial War Museum (Britain) probably has such
archival footage. However, I'm wondering if any other sources, perhaps in
the United States, France, etc. might have such archival WWI film footage?

In addition, I'm seeking WWI posters, regarding the aviation aspect of the
war.

If anyone can help me (as it's rather urgent!), please email me directly at


Thanks in advance for any help that comes my way!

The RAF museum at Hendon also has an extensive collection

As does the USAF museum in Ohio although access seems
a little more restricted

Last but not least is the RCAF museum in Trenton Ontario
