Aerial reconnaissance using heavier-than-air machines was an entirely new science that had to be improvised step-by-step. Early operations were low-level flights with the pilot often dismounting from the plane to report verbally to the nearest officers. Photographic support was urgently developed, initially requiring a full-time photographer on board to handle the heavy, awkward equipment. The interpreting of aerial images was an important new speciality, essential for accurate mapping. By 1915, air-to-ground radio was in use for reconnaissance pilots.

  • Aerial reconnaissance using heavier-than-air machines was an entirely new science that had to be improvised step-by-step. Early operations were low-level flights with the pilot often dismounting from the plane to report verbally to the nearest officers. Photographic support was urgently developed, initially requiring a full-time photographer on board to handle the heavy, awkward equipment. The interpreting of aerial images was an important new speciality, essential for accurate mapping. By 1915, air-to-ground radio was in use for reconnaissance pilots. The leader in aeronautics at the outset was France, with its Blériot observation planes, while Germany was more advanced in optics. The British were somewhat behind in the early stages, owing to lack of government backing. America would make valuable contributions in the form of multi-lens cameras for precision spotting. Reconnaissance remained an under-rated military art, compared with aerial combat, which gained the publicity, but impacted less on the outcome of the war. (en)
  • O reconhecimento aéreo usando máquinas mais pesadas que o ar era uma ciência inteiramente nova que precisava ser improvisada passo a passo. As primeiras operações eram voos de baixo nível, com o piloto frequentemente desmontando do avião para se reportar verbalmente aos oficiais mais próximos. O suporte fotográfico foi desenvolvido com urgência, exigindo inicialmente um fotógrafo em tempo integral a bordo para lidar com o equipamento pesado e desajeitado. A interpretação de imagens aéreas era uma nova especialidade importante, essencial para um mapeamento preciso. O líder da aeronáutica no início era a França, com seus aviões de observação Blériot, enquanto a Alemanha era mais avançada na ótica. Os britânicos ficaram um pouco atrás nos estágios iniciais, devido à falta de apoio do governo. A América faria contribuições valiosas na forma de câmeras com múltiplas lentes para localização precisa. Em 1915, o rádio ar-solo estava em uso para pilotos de reconhecimento. O reconhecimento continuou sendo uma arte militar subestimada, em comparação com o combate aéreo, que ganhou publicidade, mas impactou menos no resultado da guerra (pt)
