AIRGRAPH IN THE SEVENTIES. “Curiously enough, the airgraph idea isn’t new. A similar method was successfully tried during the siege of Paris in the Franco-Prussian war of *lB7O-1. Messages were printed on a board, and then the board was photographed on film. At the other end, the films were enlarged on a screen by a magic lantern and then the messages were written down and afterwards delivered. But what, you will ask, took the place of the airplane—how were the films flown to and from the besieged city? The answer is—by pigeon.”—J. B. Priestley, in the 8.8. C. series “Britain Speaks.”
