question about the p38 (f-5a/b recon aircraft
basically what altitude did it carry out its mission
what cameras/types did it carry, all still pictures or moving pictures
I am not really interested in the long nosed version

They did have an interesting show about mounting 2 cameras in a duel mount and sync the cameras to take 3D pictures. By observing both pictures (one per eye) you get the 3D effect and can actually see the depth of the image.

Stereo photography doesn't need 2 synced cameras, you can get the stereo overlap by taking each shot with a 60% Overlap this gives the separation needed to give 3D Images. I did 9 years as an Air photographer in the RAF so if you need the maths I have it lol
