WWI Snapshot Camera

Note: This item is currently in storage.

This camera was used by Lt. Robert Rutherford Nelson, an American who enlisted in the Royal Flying Corps during World War I. Lt. Nelson only began flight school in January 1918, so neither he nor his "Salamander" unit saw combat.

Donated by Mr. John W. Nelson.
