Not all colorized. Keep in mind that the Army Air force requisitioned all 
Kodachrome film during the war. It was ASA 8 in those days, but they grabbed 
every format Kodak made -- from 8 mm, 16 mm, 35mm movie film to 8x10 color 
negative film. And quite a bit of color was filmed as a result, particularly 
from 1944 on.

Cheers,
