Coronet Films

In addition to military instructional films produced during the war, the company was successful in its early years with full color films spotlighting common songbirds like the Ruby-throated Hummingbird , many of these filmed by Olin Sewall Pettingill Jr. One hallmark was that a high percentage of titles were initially shot in color Kodachrome a few years ahead of competing classroom film companies.
