F4F-3P camera windows - need photos


Recommended Posts

I want to say Dana Bell's most recent book on the Wildcat had some pics of the photo version. I don't have mine at hand to verify.

Edit -- book in hand. Page 46 shows side view drawing of vertical F-56 installation in F4F-7. Also shows experimental fairing used on F4F-4 to divert exhaust gases. F4F-4 camera was installed right of centerline while F4F-7 camera was installed left of centerline. Both were directly under the flap pneumatic pressure tank.

Then there are photos showing internal and external view of oblique K-25 used in some FM-2s.

As an aside, Dana does not list F4F-3P as a model. Same with F4F-4P. Only the F4F-7 was overtly noted as a photo recon aircraft.
