TO SHOOT aerial views of points of interest
along the Atlantic-coast route of an eastern
air line, Capt. Glenn J. McDonald, plane pi-
lot, uses a gun camera of the type employed
extensively by nature and sports photog-
raphers. Mounted on a gunstock, and
equipped with telescopic lenses and sights,
the camera is aimed out of a window in the
transport-plane cockpit. Two triggers are
used in taking pictures, one to snap the shut-
ter and the other to move the film for a nes
shot. The photograph of part of Washing
ton, D. C., shown below, was snapped at a
altitude of 1,000 feet.
