A Newsreel Cameraman's Story of World War II
First drawn to the magic of cinema as a child in 1913, Bill Carty was to become one of only a handful of frontline newsreel cameramen to document the events of the Pacific campaign during World War II. 'Flickers of History' tells the story, through words and pictures, of his journey from Sydney to the bright lights of New York, then to the battlefields of New Guinea and finally to occupied Japan.
Throughout his life, Bill was privileged to meet extraordinary people and to witness events of tremendous historical significance. But 'Flickers of History' is more than just a historical document. It is the story of one man's love affair with film and photography.
