1942 Air Corp Training Film Source

In 1942, my father was in the Army Air Corp and worked on the development of TV camera controlled bombs.  He narrated and acted in films on how to use these bombs.  Where can I find a source for these TV-bomb training films?

Yeah, but Spizz may have a lead for you. Another good lead would be to contact Charles Martin, author of the Last Great Flying Ace. The true story of Tommy McGuire required a great deal of research. Charles and Tommy were friends, I was a twerp. Just punch him in your search engine. Adora

Thanks for the lead.  He was not at Sebring, but you have a good idea about checking with the local historical societies.  He was in Florida and flew on B-17s while testing the bombs.  They made runs down to South America every day.
