About

The Williamson L-type aerial camera is a 4x5-inch plate camera made for the Royal Flying Corps (predecessor of the Royal Air Force) during the First World War. It was patented by Major Frederic Laws of the RFC,[1] and made by the Williamson Kinematograph Company of Denmark Street, London.[2] The wording of Laws' patent suggests that this was a development of cameras already in use by the RFC.[1]
