The column discusses film recovered and successfully processed nearly three decades after the B-17 bomber sunk just off Holland after the German Luftwaffe shot it down.<\/p>\n<p>With careful washing and unrolling it is possible to process and print film that sat in a hostile environment for days or years! By all means enjoy the RPS archives of samples of its remarkable Photographic Journal. The articles are a historic rendering from a British perspective.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Toronto. years ago a friend of mine dropped off a camera.
