Summary
| Description |
English: Aerial Photography during the Second World War A hand-held F24 aerial camera. The F24 was first produced by the Royal Aircraft Establishment in 1925 and was used by the Royal Air Force for day and night aerial photography until 1955. It was very reliable although it lacked the high definition of the F8 camera and was therefore of limited use for military mapping. The F24 could be accommodated within most aircraft types and consisted of a magazine, camera body, shutter gearbox and lens cone, all of which were interchangeable. It had a focal-plane shutter with speeds ranging from 1/40 to 1/120 second. The hand-held version of the camera was operated by a hand drive projecting from the camera gearbox. |

Licensing
This image is in the public domain because it is a mere mechanical scan or photocopy of a public domain original, or – from the available evidence – is so similar to such a scan or photocopy that no copyright protection can be expected to arise. The original itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
This tag is designed for use where there may be a need to assert that any enhancements (eg brightness, contrast, colour-matching, sharpening) are in themselves insufficiently creative to generate a new copyright. It can be used where it is unknown whether any enhancements have been made, as well as when the enhancements are clear but insufficient. For known raw unenhanced scans you can use an appropriate {{PD-old}} tag instead. For usage, see Commons:When to use the PD-scan tag.  |
