Description: An original aerial reconnaissance photograph from World War I, acquired from a large collection of American AEF aerial photos.Type & Size: A 6x4.5" original photograph.Condition: Original to the era and in good to fair antique condition; may have missing portions, age wear, smudging, corners may have slight damage or some light creasing. This particular set is on old and fragile paper so there is a little more chipping and flaking than we normally see. Please see photos. This photograph captures an aerial view of a large military base or encampment in France during World War I, taken by an American AEF observation squadron pilot in 1918. The image prominently features rows of military barracks, tents, and various buildings laid out in organized patterns across the landscape. The surrounding areas consist of fields and wooded regions, indicating a rural setting. During World War I, numerous bases like this one were established in France to support the American Expeditionary Forces (AEF) in their operations. These bases served as vital logistic, training, and support hubs for the troops on the front lines. The layout and construction of these facilities reflect the strategic planning and logistical efforts undertaken to ensure efficient military operations.Present in this photo: none
