A clean example of a WWII AAC (Army Air Corps) model A-1 Astrograph. The Astrograph uses translucent maps of constellations, allowing the Navigator in a bomber plane to plot a course at night. It is designed to project the equal altitude curves of selected stars on standard plotting charts.

The Astrograph is in excellent condition with its original wood case, manual, 4 bulbs / lenses in aluminum sleeves, wrenches, and ruler instrument.  The mounting clips work and the back glass plate is intact with no cracks.  It appears to have been well cared for.  The case measures 8 inches by 10 inches.

Price: SOLD
