HOME MOVIES FOR JULY
You have doubtless seen this and other pictures of aerial cameras in newspapers, magazines and in many advertisements. But do you know who developed the aerial camera — and produces, by the thousands, these vital instruments of war and peace?
It is the company founded by Sherman M. Fairchild, who developed the prototype of the modern aerial camera during the last war.
From aerial reconnaisance photographs taken with Fairchild cameras at altitudes up to seven miles, our Army and Navy glean vital information about the enemy. They determine, accurately, the position and caliber of guns, the location of radio installations, the count of enemy troops, naval vessels, etc., the nature and depth of submerged offshore obstacles, and other data essential to successful combat. In addition, they speedily prepare from aerial photographs accurate maps necessary for offensive action on land, at sea and in the air.
For all of these purposes, Fairchild makes these extremely accurate, unique cameras. A few of them are illustrated at the right. They are the cameras used to make the aerial pictures you see everywhere . . . truly the aristocrats among precision cameras.
A few of the modern Fairchild cameras, developed in cooperation with U. S. Army Air Forces and the Bureau of Aeronautics of the U. S. Navy.
