EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a remarkable moment in the history of aviation. In the image, an RAF observer can be seen practicing machine-gun firing with a camera gun that records hits and misses. The photographer, an English artist from the 20th century, has perfectly frozen this scene for eternity. The picture showcases the dedication and precision required by RAF observers during World War II.

The camera gun featured in the photo was a groundbreaking technological innovation at the time, allowing pilots to assess their accuracy without causing any real damage.
