Typed caption: "The return of a night bombardment machine of the Voisin type. A small dynamo at the landing ground provides light for six powerful searchlights to illuminate the surface of the ground at night, making it as easy to land and leave the ground as in daylight. The searchlights also serve as a guide for returning machines, since they are visible for miles in a clear night. Upon approaching the field the machines signal to find out if the landing is clear. From a painting by Lieut. Henri Farré."Creation Datecirca 1914-1918SubjectWorld War, 1914-1918Airplanes, MilitaryLanguageEnglishOriginal FormatlithographsBibliographic CitationThe Ted Ingersoll World War I Collection/The Museum of FlightRightsNo copyright - United StatesLicense
