Excerpt from Aerial Observation: The Airplane Observer, the Balloon Observer, and the Army Corps Pilot
First, the book should be written by a man with perspective. Secondly, in addition to intensive study, the author should have made many flights, and actu ally practiced his theories in the air. He should have been a true observer - not merely an officer with the military rating of Observer - but one who, in addition to sebing, realizes what he has seen.
Major Porter fills the requirements better than any one I know, or know of. We have got the right man, and therefore we have got the right book.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the crucial role of aerial observation in wartime, particularly during the First World War. The author, a veteran of the Air Service, argues that aerial observation was not merely a support function but a central element of military strategy. Drawing upon his experiences and knowledge, the book explores the history of aerial observation, from its earliest incarnations with balloons and kites to the rise of the airplane observer. The author argues that the observer's role went far beyond simply spotting enemy troops. He was a vital source of information, a key player in coordinating artillery fire, and sometimes even a participant in aerial combat. The book stresses the importance of training and versatility, advocating for a pilot-observer system that combines the skills of both roles. In a world where military decision-making is often based on incomplete information, the book reveals the critical importance of the observer in providing accurate and timely intel ââ â a crucial factor in determining the outcome of battles. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 9780282380717_0
