A plea for help, having exhausted Google et al: does anyone know of any published and available photos that may show the F-3 Havoc, camera installation. I know that it was in the rear bomb bay, but lack info on whether there were any ports, or whether the bomb doors had to be opened to photgraph anything. This seems quite plausible, as the use was night PR, and the forward bomb-bay contained photo-flashes.

In case you were wondering, I'm about to start on AMT's A-20J, with the markings for "Starize" using this sheet http://www.hannants.co.uk/search/?FULL=ESP48204. It will make a nice companion to my RF-4C of the same name.

Many thanks in anticipation.

IIRC there is a drawing of one of the camera arrangements (by implication at least, it varied) in the book Patton's Eyes in the Sky, about the 10PRG. No photos though that I recall. Contact me if you are interested in a scan.
