Top Notch Fighter
Plane Is Also Good
Air Picture Snatcher

WASHINGTON, March 12-lRE
That twin-tailed killer of the air,
the P-S8 Lightning, also has be-
come a topnotch aerial picture
snatcher, the Army Air Forces said
today.
Stripped of its 900 pounds of fight
err weapons, and 500 pounds OF
cameras substituted, the plane has
gained new range and speed, the
AAF announced.
Designated F-5 in it's new role,
the ship was picked for photogra-
phic reconnaissance, the AAF add
ed, because it can dart into enc
my territory, without protection
and obtain battle terrain pictures.
Officially it is listed as having
an approximate speed of 400 miles
an hour, a service ceiling of 49,
600 feet and a tactical radius of
action of 400 miles.
It's best photo work is done be-
tween 10000 and $4,000 feet up.
the AAF said, because cameras
can cover more ground from such
attitudes without sacrificing detail
needed in map making.
