Shooting Scenes With Movie Camera

Americans in Jeep shooting movie film in a Chinese town, probably Kunming.

Left to right:  1st lt. Lloyd Wiler, sound man who worked at RKO Pictures before the war.
 
Capt.  Wilfred Cline,  CO of the 16th Combat Camera Unit.  He was a first cameraman in the studios who specialized in Technicolor films.  He made numerous Fitzgerald Travel logs.
 
S/sgt Anthony DeLuceney at camera.  The camera is a modified Bell & Howell 35mm Eyemo.  The Air Force called it a 71-Q.  Normally the camera used 100 ft dayling loading rolls of 35mm film.  It was modified to run on a 12 V motor and use 400 ft. film magazines.
 
On the far right is Sgt. Sam Lowe.  He was a driver who took care of our jeep.  The jeep was the first and only jeep the Unit had until I managed to "smuggle" three more jeeps over the hump.
 
They are shooting a street scene, probably in Kunming
