Olham 164 Posted April 22, 2012 (edited) Just found two interesting parts in the "Flieger-Album" website, about aerial reconaissance. Still haven't found out, if the site can be read in English too - it seems not. But even the pictures are interesting enough, and you, Hasse Wind, may have to re-activate your school German. Enjoy! http://www.flieger-a...hotographie.php http://www.flieger-a...m1weltkrieg.php It looks like they even used carrier pigeons in the early day, but I didn't find anything about how successful or not that method was.

Hauksbee 103 Posted April 22, 2012 That reminds me, I haven't seen any update photos of the OFF2 pigeon lately. Rumor has it that it was shot and eaten by Capt. Edmund Blackadder. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Maeran 20 Posted April 23, 2012 I suppose the pigeon camera might have had a timer but given that this is the era of photographic plates, it must have only given one exposure. And no focus either. Is that real? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Olham 164 Posted April 23, 2012 It is real, yes. You don't need a focus with a small lens opening (11) and a short exposure time (125th). But still - when did it release? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
carrick58 23 Posted April 24, 2012 How did the pigeon look thru the view finder ? or roll the film for the next shot ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
