A camera designed to be used in aircraft or drones for taking photographs from the air.
Combines 'aero-' (from Greek aero, meaning air) with 'camera' (from Latin camera, meaning chamber or room). This compound emerged in the early 20th century as aviation technology advanced.
Aerocameras revolutionized mapmaking and warfare by allowing photographers to capture images from previously impossible angles—during World War I, they became crucial tools for military reconnaissance and changed how armies gathered intelligence.
