I picked up a very unusual item today It is stamped: LAMP ASSEMBLY

TOW TARGET, TYPE A-1

SPECIFICATION NO. 94-32354

PROPERTY OF AIR FORCE, U.S. ARMY

Anybody have any pics of one of these in use?

If I recall correctly, these lamps were attached inside the aerial target and thus illuminated the target sleeve like a lantern for night time gunnery training. The various attach points on the lamp were for trussing it up in the sleeve. I believe there is a toggle switch on it and the thing was battery powered.

Thanks for the info, Will I had one in my collection for years that I sold a while back and never did know how it was used.

Thanks
