Where did these shots from Captain Video come from? I have been trying to find pictures of Tobor and the Galaxy for years and I have never see these before. I saw the actual shows on tv in 1953 and 54. Number three is made from some Renwal toy spaceships. The Galaxy is of course two F-90 jets glued together.
I was hoping someone would see these image clips and help out just as you have done. I very much appreciate your comments and knowledge of these images.
Only less than half these clips are from Russian sf films. There are paintings from US science fiction magazines and even stills from the 1949 - 55 US TV series CAPTAIN VIDEO.
Some of these are from the 50's US TV series CAPTAIN VIDEO, featuring his Galaxy 2 rocket, and his robot adversary Tobor. (FX by NYC's Russell and Haberstroh Studio)
One shot features the rocket from Columbia's late 40's serial Jack Armstrong, and also used in 50's Atom Man Vs. Superman serial.
Picture 2 might be from Tales of Tomorrow. Not sure and don't mean to send you a wild goose chase.

I looked at it again. I don't think ANY of these clips are from Soviet films. I recognized all but one as from familiar Western sources.
