ONE of the most important aerial ad-
vances of the war is strip photography
——a big step forward from the laborious
piecing together of a series of reconnais-
sance shots. The Sonne camera, designed
to perform this feat, is much like other
aerial cameras in appearance, but it oper-
ates without a shutter. Film, synchronized
with the speed of the plane, moves past the
lens as it records the terrain. Clear pic-
tures are possible from a plane racing at
300 miles an hour and at altitudes from 100
feet above the ground-—far below the effec-
tive level of ack-ack—to 7 1/2 miles.
