HOME MOVIES FOR SEPTEMBER
These great ACTION sequences
mode with
gun cameras!
In newsreels recently, you've probably seen plenty of movie sequences showing Messerschmitts, or Zeros, being literally 'blasted' from the skies. These pictures were taken originally not to furnish you with entertainment; rather, to furnish our armed forces with indisputable proof of enemy planes destroyed!
These pictures are taken with a very unusual type of 16 mm movie camera . . . known as the Fairchild GSAP. Mounted close to the plane's guns, and to follow the bullets' course, these cameras automatically 'grind' while guns are firing, and stop only after the last bullet has reached the target or the target area.
You might well ask . . . "how can such a light, compact 16 mm camera operate so dependably in face of the incessant pounding and vibration from engines and guns?" The answer, of course, lies in its unique design and in its precision manufacture. Designed in cooperation with U. S. Army and Navy experts, it is built to the same precise standards which have kept Fairchild constantly in the aerial camera lead.
It's the kind of camera every movie owner some day hopes to own.
