Aurora Italian Flag pens will cover red and white for you.

 

I would keep a black one in there as well.

My mother a WAC landed in France D-Day + 11.

Took the unescorted 35 knot Queen Mary 'troop ship' across the Pond.

 

In England ran down IKE when she found out she had an English Bike and not American one with coaster breaks. He had a few sharp words to say. (His fault, in looking the wrong way when crossing an English road.)

 

Sigh, She voted for him anyway.

I was born 44 years to the minute after the Normandy landings begun.

 

And I shipped off a pen recovered from a japanese ship sunk jan 30 1944 to wancher for restoration. The postal worker told me that his dad was assigned to protect emperor hirohito after the war. And he actually knew my mom's husband (before she had kids) back in the 70's when he was a NAUI diver in the Pacific

 

It's been a really "small world" kinda week

Selling a boatload of restored, fairly rare, vintage Japanese gold nib pens, click here to see (more added as I finish restoring them)

      Thanks for the info (I only used B&W film and learned to process that).   Boy -- the stuff I learn here!  Just continually astounded at the depth and breadth of knowledge in this community! Ruth Morrisson aka inkstainedruth

      >Well, I knew people who were photography majors in college, and I'm pretty sure that at least some of them were doing photos in color,<   I'm sure they were, and my answer assumes that. It just wasn't likely to have been Kodachrome.  It would have been the films I referred to as "other color films." (Kodachrome is not a generic term for color film.

      @Ceilidh -- Well, I knew people who were photography majors in college, and I'm pretty sure that at least some of them were doing photos in color, not just B&W like I learned to process.  Whether they were doing the processing of the film themselves in one of the darkrooms, or sending their stuff out to be processed commercially?  That I don't actually know, but had always assumed that they were processing their own film.

      Kodachrome 25 was the most accurate film for clinical photography and was used by dermatologists everywhere. I got magnificent results with a Nikon F2 and a MicroNikkor 60 mm lens, using a manually calibrated small flash on a bracket. I wish there were a filter called "Kodachrome 25 color balance" on my iPhone camera.
