SPITFIRE FLIP BOOK (IMPERIAL WAR MUSEUM) (PB)

The Imperial War Museum’s archive is home to more than 20,000 hours of moving image material spanning the twentieth century in Britain. In the museum's early days the films could only be viewed through Mutoscope machines from the late nineteenth century that 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 re-create the experience of watching these historical film reels, some of the most compelling scenes have been reproduced in these action-filled flipbooks.
