| Commentaires : | The USAAF photography sections were companies that were used on photography and reconnaissance missions. They would be sent in to hostile areas to take aerial photographs to send back to their commanders to help plan the next moves. There were many bases both in North America and in Europe that were used to send out reconnaissance photography missions. The American side of the Gander airport was one such base. |
| Fonctions : | Worn by JA Meyer during World War II. He worked for the United States Army Air Force reconnaissance. |
