Here we see P-51-1-NA 41-37320, originally destined to join the RAF as a Mustang I. However it was taken back by the USAAF, and used as a reconnaissance aircraft (official conversions were designated as the F-6). Two camera positions have been installed. The camera behind the pilot's seat is in full view. The second camera is in the rear fuselage, just behind the radiator outlet. A hand crank in the cockpit allowed the pilot to move this camera from the vertical to an aft oblique position.
Many thanks to Robert Bourlier for sending us this photograph.
