Gsap Camera in Aerial Photography
1943-04-10
The GSAP (Gunsight Aiming Point) camera photographs the gunsight as well as the target and the accuracy of aiming. It is automatically synchronized to take a picture of the sight as the gun fires. The camera's importance in aerial photography is three-fold: it simulates actual firing without waste of ammunition; it permits evaluation of mistakes made; when used in combat, it serves as a valuable record of the firing that takes place. 11th Combat Crew Replacement Center, AAF Station 112, England. 10 April 1943.
