Description from the seller
Produced by Kodak Ltd. London. Screen for aerial viewing in foggy conditions, manufactured in Great Britain. Portable optical device with a wooden frame housing three rows of filters of different colors for viewing through fog, glare and water. Integrated contoured grip. The aviator held the screen close to his face and selected the appropriate filter to perform observations. These devices were probably used mainly by Coastal Command crews. Rare to find as they are rather fragile. They show some signs of delamination of the filters, but overall they are in good condition. Complete with original cardboard case. World War II
