This VERY nice Navy version Graflex K-20 Aircraft Camera belongs to Californian Mitch Buechner. This one has an interesting history, as on the information slide are 3 little windows that have writing in pencil on them. He's figured out #1 window and #3, it's #2 that was the stickler. Not a military person himself, thoughts on what it means were limited. The first window is (7-24) obviously a month day date. The second window is (TG40.1) and the third is (BB63) Wasn't hard to figure this last one out. This of course is the Battleship Missouri. After some replies on graflex.org it turns out TG40.1 is Task Group 40, a powerful collection of US Warships in action during the Korean War. Who knows what action this camera has seen!
