Aerial Photography had been utilized ever since balloons took to the air. Wilbur Wright took photos from the air. However, US inventer Sherman M. Fairchild (1896-1971) may be credited with designing the best aerial reconnaissance camera for aircraft, as his design was utilized for over fifty years.

Is Force Recon with MARSOC?

Yes and no. When MARSOC was created in 2006, the direct action platoons (i.e. door kickers) from Force Recon were transferred over and changed into the Marine Special Operations Teams, or MSOTs. The first MARSOC operators were from these Force Recon platoons. This allowed Force Recon to shift their focus back to the intelligence gathering and deep recon missions that they were designed for.
