Typed caption: "A twin-motored Caudron signaling the position of the infantry at the Battle of Verdun. The plane is at an altitude of about 3,000 feet. By means of flares the observer determines the exact line of the infantry, crouching in the trenches, and also, through the intense illumination, the changing situation of the attacking troops. He transmits by wireless the information to the artillery, by which it regulates its barrage fire. 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
