Historic Holograms by McDonnell Douglas

McDonnell Douglas Electronics Company produced several reflection holograms in addition to Marching Band hologram.

Marching Band, Slalom Skier, That´s Life and Marching Drummer are examples of reflection holograms. Pulse large-format off axis transmission holograms were also a part of what the company offered. The holograms were recorded by Clark Charnetski at Conductron now part of McDonnell Douglas.

Historic holograms – produced with the Nobelprized lasertechnique holography – will of course become an important part of all types of holograms  at the NEW HOLOGRAM MUSEUM Sweden.

Do you want to become a part of that project?
