Description from the seller

Unique Kodak Fairchild K25 aircraft camera. includes filmroll (!) and red filter.

The K-25 Aerial Camera was used during WWII for daylight reconnaissance photography to produce 4"x5" prints. This camera, made by Fairchild, was electrical, requiring a 24v input using the side mounted connection, but may be operated mechanically by turning the key. Aperture is adjustable from f-4.5 to f-22, and shutter speed is adjustable from 125 to 500, both adjustments are made using dedicated knobs adjacent to the lens. The lens, a Kodak Anastigmat, protects the shutter within, which is activated by turning the removable key. Activation can be set by time by using the timer adjacent to the key.
