William G. Wilson (March 10, 1917 – October 28, 2007) was an American cinematographer and Director of Photography (DP) who filmed hundreds of championship sporting events during a career that spanned more than 50 years. Wilson filmed baseball, football, basketball, ice hockey, golf, boxing, horse-racing and auto racing. His pioneering work in television news-filming for WFIL-TV in Philadelphia, the first ABC affiliate station in the nation, set early standards for filming news and sports. During World War II, Wilson served as a combat cameraman and aviator with the United States Marine Corps, filming major action in the South Pacific on the ground and in the air. ==Biography==
Born in Phoenixville, Chester County, Pennsylvania on March 10, 1917, William Wilson grew up on a farm near Kimberton, PA. He was one of ten children. His father, William M. Wilson, who owned a plumbing business, served as the mayor of Phoenixville and on borough council for 28 years. Wilson excelled at baseball as a young man and played semi-pro ball as a second-baseman. He was invited to a tryout with the New York Baseball Giants, but the outbreak of war cut short a fledgling athletic career. Shortly after the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, Wilson enlisted in the United States Marine Corps, where he served as a combat cameraman and aviator. While on leave in Philadelphia, he met Jean Hoff, serving with the Navy WAVES, whom he married in 1945. They were married for 62 years and raised three children in Folcroft, Delaware County, Pennsylvania where he lived until his death on October 28, 2007.
