4x5 roll film adapter

I am almost sure the areial cameras of WWII actually used 5" film, at least that is what I have thought, I also remember somewhere seeing an 8" roll film areial camera, this would be a mystery for Jim Galli me thinks, if anyone would know I am sure here would.

i think some of it was 6" wide dave ...
my d3v enlarger was a government contract model made for printing 6" aerial film ( from what i was told) , but then again i have been wrong before

Great idea! In fact so great that Graflex made such roll film holders for their cameras from about 1910 to WW2. They made sizes 2.25x3.25, 3.25x4.25, 3.5x5.5, 4x5 and 5x7, all rolled the long way. Kodak made film in at least VP and Super XX in most sizes until the 1950's. Six shots on a roll. This, and the 12 and 18 exposure bag magazines, were one of the reasons that people ordered Speed Graphics with the optional Graflex back.

I knew that somebody had to have done it. I specifically looked for information on Graflex, and didn't find it. Don't know how I managed to miss it. Thanks for the information!
