Near as I can tell, the camera was a one-of-a kind developed for the V-2 rocket testing by a staff engineer at White Sands named Clyde Holliday.

Sounds like he had to fight to get it aboard. Most of the staff were only interested in telemetry and cosmic ray readings.

Pictures or it didn't happen boys.
