During World War II, audio visual devices were used for military and industrial training. According to Reiser, 2001, "During the war, the United States Army Air Force produced more than 400 training films and 600 filmstrips, and during a two -year period (from mid 1943 to mid-1945) it was estimated that there were more than four million showings of training films to United States personnel" (p. 56).
