Joint Meeting with the Aero Club of Pennsylvania. October 9, 1919-" Photography from the Airplane." BY HERBERT E. IVES, PH.D., Major, Aviation Section, Signal Reserve Corps, lately in charge of photographic experimental work, United States Air Service. Photography from the airplane practically had its birth in the Great War, and early became one of the most important activities of all the air forces. By its aid complete detailed maps of enemy trenches, batteries, and lines of communication were always available, thus entirely destroying the factor of secrecy, and so revolutionizing military strategy. Numerous technical problems arose in connection with the methods, apparatus and materials to be used in this newest application of photography, and ultimately nearly every branch of scientific photography lent its aid. The lecture will deal with the research work done for the United States Air Service, and will be illustrated by lantern slides both of apparatus, and from negatives taken over the battle lines. Joint Meeting with the Aero Club of Pennsylvania. October 15, 1919-" The U. S. Naval Communication Service."
