Talk:First Motion Picture Unit

message: Any proof James Stewart was in the FMPU? His bio says he was in a regular Army unit and IMDB has no credits for him during the war. --Jamoche 18:34, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  James Stewart 

message: The image of Stewart & Gable was taken in England when we can presume thet had been transferred out of the FMPU and into combat duty. There is a sleeve patch for the 18th Army Air Force , but no indication that the Base Unit wore it. Note that we do not have that insignia on commons. That said, several photos here  show personnel wearing the Hop Arnold insignia on their sleeves. I think the Hap Arnold is the best image for the infobox. – Lionel (talk) 02:14, 25 May 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks for the clarification. Question: to what does the official designation of FMPU, "18th Army Air Force Base Unit", refer?  Were there 17 other "Base Units"? Or were they the Base Unit for the "18th Army Air Force"? And was a Base Unit similar to a station? – Lionel (talk) 01:44, 27 May 2012 (UTC)

thread_title: Does not compute

message: The lead says films "....were released theatrically." Is that meant to convey that there were released in theatres, or surrounded by/part of  theatrical goings on? Seems wrong word to me. Comments?  Moriori (talk) 00:26, 7 August 2012 (UTC)
