Some pioneers of aerial photography:[1]
In the eighties, balloon photography was solely employed for military purposes in England and Germany; and in this connection the names of Elsdale and Templer may be mentioned, as well as those of Tschudi, Hagen, and Sigsfeld. In Austria, the first attempts at photographic work were made by Viktor Silberer, who interested himself in this as in every other aspect of ballooning.[1]
Aerial photography gave a new vantage point on warfare, as seen in this image of soldiers in trenches during World War I.
Aerial photographs combined to form a continuous map. "The military and naval authorities of the warring countries have thousands of miles of photographic maps. These are kept up to the minute by the constant stream of aerophotographs brought to headquarters by aviators, where they are developed, studied, and the minutest changes noted on the map." (Textbook of Military Aeronautics (1918), p. 91.)
