ABSTRACT:
A handheld snapshot camera is combined with a casing therefor which forms a portion of an aircraft fuselage with a foreshortened wingspan. The casing functions as a carrying case and a novelty amusement device or a toy airplane. The snapshot camera fits snugly within the casing and cooperates with the casing structure and contour such that the film spool-winding operator is exposed in an unobtrusive manner adjacent one of the motor mount positions on one side of the simulated cockpit area. The camera shutter trip button forms a portion of the top surface of the foreshortened wing on the opposite side of the cockpit convenient for use in the picture taking mode. A flash attachment or hot shoe is mounted to the underside of one of the foreshortened wings to receive a standard flash unit. A pivotally mounted nose cone section of the aircraft functions as a lens cap. The camera is accurately positioned within the aircraft fuselage so as to cooperate with a view finder frame which also constitutes a portion of the aircraft cockpit formation.
