Warbird Information Exchange

We have recently came across several Fairchild T-11 ariel mapping cameras. Does anyone have information on what aircraft these cameras may have been used in?

I have done several online searches, with not a whole lot of luck. They were used in the early 60's, but can not find any mention of particular aircraft.

They are a large camera that uses 9 inch rolls of film. The camera and the film housing weigh like 70 pounds. One of the film housings actually is still loaded with fresh film, and ready to go.

According to the following site, they could be used in the RF-4E, among others:
