EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "Capturing the Sky: A Photographer with an Oblique F7 Camera in Action at the RAF School of Photography, Farnborough, 1935" This evocative black-and-white photograph captures the essence of aerial photography in its infancy, as a Royal Air Force (RAF) photographer skillfully maneuvers a Hand-Held Oblique F7 Camera in the rear position of an aircraft at the Farnborough RAF School of Photography in England, 1935. The image, a testament to the history of aeronautical photography, transports us back in time to an era of innovation and exploration in the skies. The photographer, dressed in a leather jacket and goggles, is poised in the open doorway of the aircraft, holding the Oblique F7 Camera with both hands, ready to capture the perfect shot. The Oblique F7 Camera, an essential tool for aerial reconnaissance and cartographic surveys, was a significant advancement in aerial photography technology during the 1930s. Its unique design allowed for oblique (angled) images, providing valuable information for military intelligence and topographical mapping. The photograph was taken at the RAF School of Photography at RAF Farnborough, a leading institution for aerial photography training during the interwar period. The school was located at RAF Farnborough, now known as RAF Farnborough Main, in Hampshire, England. EGLF, the airport code for Farnborough, can be seen on the aircraft's tailfin in the image. This photograph offers a rare glimpse into the world of aerial photography during a pivotal time in aviation history. It is a reminder of the courage and dedication of the photographers who captured images from the air, contributing to the advancement of military intelligence, cartography, and the art of aerial photography itself.
