About

The Type 99 Ultra Small Aerial Camera (GSK-99) entered service with the Imperial Japanese Army in 1940. It is the smallest of the aerial cameras produced. Unlike the standard Navy Type 99 and Army Type 100 models, the GSK-99 had interchangeable roll holder backs for 120 film that could be pre-loaded for ease of handling during flight. The camera has a wind up mechanism that triggered both film advance and cocked the shutter, allowing for rapid shooting of up to six images. In total, ten 6×6
