Air Force's 3-Dimension
Cameras See Plenty

FONTAINEBLEAU, France —
Hollywood’s new craze, three dim
ensional movies, are already at
the supersonic level in the U. S.
Air Force.
The Air Force has been using
3-D for more than a decade. It
was used with telling effectiveness
for aerial reconnaissance in the
late stages of World War II. It
proved itself again in Korea.
And Brig. Gen. George W. God
dard, who pioneered 3-D in the
Air Force, sees no limit to its
horizons. “We’ve got the cameras
away ahead of the airplanes” he
says. “With the camera we now
have a plane could fly at a speed
of 3,000 mph and a height of 1,000
feet, and get a detailed continu
ous picture in natural color of
everything in its path.
“Using our projector, a three
dimensional image of the film
could be flashed on a screen 24 ft.
square. It would be so detailed
you could read the numbers on
freight cars. Another of our de
vices would enable us to gauge the
height of buildings, the width of
bridges, and the depth of waters
along coastal areas with accuracy
that is almost beyond belief.”
