This camera looks to be NOS. Does anyone know which aircraft would have used this type of camera?

Ummm.... I'm gonna' go out on a limb and say "Torpedo planes"?

Just kidding there, Patrick. TBM's and TBY's mounted them for sure. TBY camera mount was located in the port wing. One of our resident Turkey experts will have to help you with the Grumman though.

Martin PBM (just saw it in my parts book last night), B26, Martin mauler. It was used as a record keeper just like a gun camera. I would have expected to see these in other larger torpedo dropping aircraft, like PV-1, PBJ, etc.
