Straight Flush is a B-29 Superfortress which was doing aerial reconnaissance in 1945.   Straight Flush and its regular crew flew the plane over Japan and radioed that the weather appeared sufficiently clear before the Enola Gay dropped the atomic bomb on Hiroshima Aug. 6, 1945. 

I shot 10 instax square through a 3x4 cut film magazine for the Graflex.  I placed them so the chemical pack was against closed end of the septum and flush against the "bottom" (so it would be on top in the camera). This is an original leather "bag mag" with 10 filled septums and 2 empty.  All of the septums changed out and the film stayed intact until the last shot and I could not replace the dark slide.  No biggie.  

Developed in a Diana Instax Square.  

The biggest problem I had with these was having to open the aperture to focus and I forgot to close it a couple of times outdoors, and overexposed.  A couple of the indoor shots were just way underexposed due to all the shadows.  I didn't take a couple of shots because the 3x4 lens is not very wide.
