I would add also Recon Missions, and according to this:

Might be the possibility of simulate taking picture shots from a Recon Plane over the target, and have them shown?

Like if you took a PrintScreen, but of course looking down like in a bombsight. Imagine you take the Bombing Sight from IL-2, you retire the numbers and circles and simulate a photo camera visor (sorry I don't know the correct english words ), and press a key for a screen shot, being stored in your computer , and able to be sent later to your mates/headquarters, and depending of the success of the mission, to produce an influence in further missions of the campaign.

We do it now very roughly in the On Line campaigns like AirWar, just dropping smoke from planes (T-Key) when flying over the target, to simulate taking pictures. Then, from the report of the mission, a parser program calculates the distance from these smoke points to the target and situates more or less ground objetives there for the next bombing missions to do.

Remember that not only ex-bomber planes were used for Recon, there were Spits, P-38, etc Recon versions.

What can not be expected from the fantastic SOW engine, coming from an expert Photographer like you ! Lets call this Air Camera "Olegmatic" !
