Dateline: Chicago - Victor Airway 84

Year Published: 1964

Creator: NBC

Description: Kinescope (filming of TV broadcast monitor) from Nov. 1964 of "Dateline: Chicago - Victor Airway 84", a TV series produced by an NBC affiliate station in Chicago. Covers how air traffic control worked at the time, along with new developments in the field, with a focus around Aurora and O'Hare.

Being a kinescope, quality wasn't great- did what I could to correct for artifacts of filming a monitor, tried to even it out and made corrections to improve clarity.
Audio has some "noise" I was unable to fully remove, unfortunately the soundtrack area of the film had a pretty rough scratch going for most of the program. Also tried to process audio as I could to improve clarity of the pilots and ATC operators.
This kinescope contained blank sections where it would have gone to commercial breaks, so I cut and crossfaded those sections.

Fully closed-captioned.
