Aëroplanes and dirigibles of war

Talbot, Frederick Arthur Ambrose, 1880- · 1915 · London : W. Heinemann · 36 pictures

Frederick A. Talbot's 1915 account of military aviation, issued in London by Heinemann for wartime general readers following the air war's first months. Halftone press photographs show biplanes and monoplanes in flight and wrecked in fields, ground crews around machines, airmen holding dart-shaped bombs, and rigging wires crossing open sky, useful for early aircraft silhouettes and coarse-grained photographic texture.
