THE FLYING CAMERA
Tho important part playod .by tho camera .in this war is not' genorally. known. Photography ( has been largely used by fliers in taking aeroplane observations of the enemy's lines.'. The French. >and British possess a complete map of the enemy trenches drawn from aeroplane observations, and many of the positions have been revealed'by.tho most precise photographs taken from above. , Theso photographs are particularly .. valuable because of tho minuteness with which they indicate small particulars of the enemy's dispositions. It is , pretty "certain that _ the Germans have some photographed information of ; the .Allied, lines, but in view of the now weir demonstrated; superiority of the British and -French airmen over the Germans, it seems safe to assume that the photographic information in' tho possesion of the 'Allies is more valu-. able and accurate than that possessed bv the. Gorman General. Staff. . The value of such photographic information lies "in the benefit of knowing, against which points of the enemy line the at tacks must be pressed home with the greatest, strength.
