Kodak K24 military air force camera
My late dad was a bit into cameras and photography. He was not an expert in either; but when he came across an interesting item, he would not hesitate to buy it if the price was right.
I can't remember when he acquired this massive Kodak K24 Reconnaissance camera that was built to fit on military aircraft. It looks like this machine was used by both the USAF and the RCAF (Royal Canadian Air Force) based on the markings and labels. According to some literature, the camera contains a slight amount of mildly radioactive element called thorium. So far I haven't turned neon green (yet).
The tiny camera is a Universal Minute 16 spy camera.
The "normal" size camera is a Kodak Ref No. 114A/ AN2550 camera. According to my dad, it's also a special-build for the U.S. Army. But where is the viewfinder for that camera? I do not understand.
