These are the real opening credits (pre-editing) from the documentary shorts that make up the series. I could use some help with production credits.

By the time all this got going, the name change from the United States Army Air Corps to the United States Army Air Forces was complete. That happened during 1942. There are inconsistencies in terms of how different instructional films handle the transition.

"First Motion Picture Unit
Army Air Forces"

For the P-61 is interesting because these credits are not done up by a military contractor.

But in the P-47 I get:

"Presented by The Army Air Forces
in cooperation with
Republic Aviation Corporation (1943)"

For the P-39, it's the "United States Army Air Forces"

Army Air Forces
The Army Air Forces
United States Army Air Forces
The United States Army Air Forces

Which is it?

Take a stab at below also please.

I'm particularly interested in how the "War Department" gets credited.

Some of these films also draw an "AKA" over at IMDB:

Agree with Tweeter here as well.

Timeless Media Group produced nothing. Who are the producers? How do you list them?

Quoting Addicted2DVD:

But accuracy to the disc we are profiling.

^ This. 

If Timeless Media is the media company credited, credit them.  Any companies not listed on the disc are irrelevant because we are profiling this disc.  Profile the disc and you will make a meaningful contribution.

If there are no studios credited on the disc, the thing most would do is to leave that section blank for the online. 

Locally, I would probably list it thusly, given the info posted:
- The United States Army Air Forces
- Republic Aviation Corporation
- Bell Aircraft Corporation

Danae Cassandra: Thanks for your suggestion.

iPatsa: It's frustrating because you can watch the same films on Youtube and see the credit information. You can then go to IMDB and see the film info there.

I understand that IMDB is about film and Profiler is about discs, but it's very frustrating that there is no neat or clean way to have that information in my local profile AND allow others to benefit from over two days worth of work.

Like others trying to help, you get to a point where you say "Why bother? I have other things to do with my time."

I've got lots of stuff in my collection that I could contribute, but this sort of result is caustic, and leaves lots of holes in the database that don't have to be there.

Why can't there be a thread, similar to the alternative cover scans one, that would allow the community to benefit from all that work?

If you write down the full credits in an online document, you can use the link feature in the program to link the profile to that document. That way others can see what you have done.
