The copy of the 1st film (39 thru the France) that I've reviewed from the IWM is almost useless. It was very badly copied and virtually illegible, at least for several key sections - the Battle for France is one I remember in particular. Possibly it was just a bad copy of the film, but I can't speak to that. The other 11 films are, for the most part, fine except for some terrible penmanship (or just some weird variations in script) for handwritten additions. Some are easily read, others incomprehensible. The typed correction pages are key, unfortunately I wasn't that smart back then. Working around the mistakes is another subject all together. (And like Andreas and several others, I have transcribed all this into a database.)
