what kind of camera is this


 
 
I,
I won a auction on Ebay and the seller through in this camera but he didn't know what kind of camera it was. So I am asking anyone to help identify this

  Looks like it might have been mounted on aircraft. Any markings on it at all, USAAC, et al.?

  It just looks like a camera housing to me...

It seems like an important piece is missing. By the looks of the condition of the leather I would say it is a well taken care late 1950s or later something or other...

  This looks like a "blimp case". It's a housing used to muffle the noise that the camera makes during operation.
