Subject: A Question about Gun Cameras
From: "Keith Willshaw" Date: 1/22/04 1:34 AM Pacific Standard Time Message-id: "ReeferGuy" wrote in message ... 2333on1/2 How do gun cameras work? On WW2 aircraft it was a cheap and cheerful 16mm camera that operated when the gun button was pressed http://www.classiccamera.org/spitfir...n%20camera.htm Are there films of EVERY kill? Sometimes cameras failed or the film got wet or simply not loaded in the scramble to re-arm and refuel so the answer must be no. Keith These cameras were known as GSAP's that stood for Gun Sight Aiming Point cameras.The 16mm film was magazine fed And while they might not have been 100% perfect (what is?) I very rarely heard a complaint from anyone that their cameras were not working.
