Description: Fairchild AN-N6 US Army Air Force 16mm Gun Camera circa1960 for Sabre Jet This camera was the 1960 through '69 version of the N6 gun camera, the cameras developed by Fairchild for WWII.This is a motion picture camera that was powered by 24 volts through a cord attached, which I do not have. It accepted 16mm metal cartridges made by Kodak. The power receptacle is a 2 prong arrangement, later replaced by a sturdier 3 prong recessed arrangement. So this one must have been an earlier version of this camera. There is a manual for this available on line for viewing.
