i have in my possession a camera made by bell and howell that my grandfather took off his plane when he left ww1. this was a gun mounted 16mm camera. the cool thing is it still has the film in it from his last mission. i have searched high and low with no luck to find info on this camera, (worth) and where i can get the film developed. any ideas i will appreciate. i am 27 years in air force and would love to see the film. email please with info desouth44@yahoo.com

I believe you are referring to the G.S.A.P. (gun sight aiming point) camera by Bell and Howell, as far as i know they weren't made until after WW1.

You should speak with a photographer who specializes in old film restoration to try and save what is on it, of course it is possible to be in good shape.

I have many pics of my grandfathers unit with AEF...some donated to the historical society...like their training to signal biplanes...

I also donated the pic of Company M, 26th Regiment AEF if anyone wants to see it...has a relative there...check the ohio historical society...

I'd love to see this get developed. I wish you luck, and be sure to post here the end story. Hopefully the film can be restored and printed.

Maybe some news station would be interested in using this in the news it is apart of our history. My father was in WW1 and I would love to know what he went through.
