Neil:
I have studied both Schlieren and shadograph techniques  (mainly in
connection with convective heat-flow analysis)-- but I don't remember either
of those films.

Those techniques can also be useful for visualizing the shift from laminar
to turbulent boundary layer-- that critical step-change in aero pressure
that Joe Lance so astutely pointed-out.

Might be fun for some of us if we could locate a copy of those old films.  I
have some connections at Shell-- maybe they can put me on the right path.

Russ;

I saw that one and another called "The History of Flight", both sponsored by
Shell, in physics class years ago. Somewhere out there must be a copy of
"Transonic Flight"; the wind tunnel tests show Schlieren images of shock
waves developing, becoming detached, etc. It is old but very informative.

Neil:
no, sorry to say I don't think I've ever seen that film.
