Combat Camera Display at Norton and March Museums; and future museum displays

The drive for old equipment is renewed with the new year.

We have received some wonderful items to include in our museum exhibits at the March Air Museum and the Norton Museum.

BUT!!! We still need more! We need more “tools of our trade” that accurately depict the variety and diversity of our mission and prepare to display in Texas and possibly other locations.

If you have items, and your not sure they are something we would want, send an email to Ken Hackman, kenhackman@att.net and he will let you know if your item/s is something we can use. Send items to Ken Hackman, 3940 Sunswept Drive, Studio City, CA 91604 who will catalog the donations and then get them to Jose Lopez who is our museum curator.

We still need mopic cameras used during Korea and Vietnam and into the late 90s.

We need video cameras, the type use in service, to represent the video shooters.

We also need medium format cameras to represent the move between 4×5 and 35mm. Specifically looking for a Graflex XL w/rangefinder and a Rapid Omega 200. We got some backs and lenses for these cameras; and they were actually used by Combat Camera.

Does anyone know what are they using now: both Still and Video?
