View-Master - Military Reels

-World War II

The U.S. Army and Navy contracted View-Master and several model making companies to produce accurate models of actual military aircraft and ships belonging to every belligerent nation to be photographed and made into 3D View-Master reels.

Pilots and Gunners:

Mainly for use by pilots and anti-aircraft/ships\' gunners, these reels were to be used in self-teaching -recognition and range estimation- of planes and ships.

Sets of varying sizes were boxed and accompanied by black Model B viewers, and were readily available for individual study.

Condition: . All the reels appear to be in very good vintage condition. All still very viewable and all still in the original envelopes. Some of the envelopes are plain white and some have the Navel Aviation Training Division stamp on them. A few have the original owners name hand wrote on the back. Please consider the actual viewer FOR PARTS OR REPAIR. It is missing one of the light diffusers for sure and I think a pin in the top that holds it together. Maybe a easy fix? but I think it should stay with the reels regardless.

JUST A WONDERFUL PIECE OF HISTORY!

Please feel free to ask any questions and good luck offerding!

Have a good day!
