So I'd like to contribute a title called "Flight Check Fighters" (011301622945), and I think I know the cover art rules but wanted to check.

The slipcover that holds the two keep cases has the UPC above.

The keep case cover art is the same for the front cover, but differs for the back cover. Each back cover has a separate UPC and pictures / text reflecting the aircraft covered.

Since this isn't a box set (??) I think I'm supposed to use the slip cover art for all front and back artwork.

Yes/No/Maybe?

Depends if you plan to submit child profiles or not, because: "The covers must match the profile exactly, including the UPC and locality."

I have other questions on this upcoming submission.

Excepting the one obviously done by the Luftwaffe for the ME-262, the film(s) which make up this instructional series were all done by the United States Army Air Corps (USAAC, later renamed the Army Air Forces).

Timeless Media Group had nothing to do with the "movie" other than the telecine and of course making / distributing the DVD.

I'm not sure any of the sections / chapters have end credits, but I'll keep checking.

How do I credit the US Army as having made the original film?

During the war Ronald Reagan served in the film production unit of the USAAC / Army Air Forces and both acted in and narrated training films such as "Recognition of the Japanese Zero Fighter" and "Beyond the Line of Duty".

I recognize his voice as narrating part of the P-47 segment, even though he is not credited.

How do I go about crediting him as one of the narrators?

I'm also a bit in the dark about what to use as the production year for this instructional feature.

I am working on the child profiles too. They each have their own UPC and distinctive back cover art.

The parent profile would use the cover art from the slip cover where as the child profiles would use the cover art from each individual keep case.

This is the outcome I was hoping for, thanks.

This might provide some help on a production name and time frame:

First Motion Picture Unit, United States Army Air Forces

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1772269/
Flying the P-61 Series Airplane (1944)

This seems to be one of the fighters in the Flight Check Fighters series.

Could not find a link that provided me info on all flight training segments.

Just click both the voice and uncredited checkboxes for Reagan and document in your notes that you can identify his voice in the film.

The first disc has some segments that are color, and another that is B/W.

Just select "Mixed" in formats?

This should be a simple answer but it is not. Break out the stop watch because there is a 10% requirement in the rules: "Programs that feature different coloring methods (e.g. Color and Black & White). Use when the coloring for at least 10% of the film differs from the rest of the film."

More questions:

With each child profile being part of a box set ...

Is the containing profile (which is just the slip case itself) the only one that gets the "slip case" checkbox? Or do the child profiles also get the check box?

Does the main / containing profile, which is nothing but the cover, get an indication of "keep case" because all the child profiles are keep cases, or is this blank?

There is no slip case check box, that one is called slip cover. Slip Case however is an actual case type, usually containing multiple keep cases. Without pictures it's hard to know what this is.

But based on what you have written, I assume it is:
Parent: Slip Case
Children: Keep Case
