Schley Ride to series
This 1960s travelog film by Norman Schley, a filmmaker from Waukesha, Wisconsin USA, who made a series of amateur films under the moniker "Schley Ride" and/or "Picturelogue inc." The film is presented in a two-part series about a journey through western Europe.
Part 1: This installment highlights the cultural and architectural wonders of London, Dublin, Belfast, and some German cities like East and West Berlin, Cologne, and Frankfurt. The film consists of a montage of clips taken from car, plane, and train windows.
Part 2: This particular installment highlights the cultural and architectural wonders of Austria, Germany, Italy. (Not France, whatever the film's summary says.) The film opens with a map of Western Europe highlighting the traveler’s route. The film then displays a montage of clips taken from car and train windows as they travel. The film was photographed by Norman E. Schley himself. A script was written for this film by Bohn Bakke, but here it is presented without narration.

Unidentified Aircraft
Apparently round portholes, but wingtip seems not matching with Boeing 377 Stratocruiser, Lockheed Constellation or any other aircraft with round portholes.
