Necessitates a Thorough Knowledge,
of Airplane Photography to be
in Any Degree a Success.
The French were first to develop.
the art of camouflage in the war. In.
this line the Germans were prompt.
to imitate, and they did it with sk'li r.
and ingenuity. '
In the St. Mihiel sector the Ger-
mans constructed a wonderful piece'
of camouflage which the allies faille('
entirely to disegver, It was not die
covered, in fact, until the salient was.
captured.
Tt was an extensive arca roofed
with wire net at a height of fourteen
feet above the ground, and covered
(over the net) 'with scattered brush.
Beneath it were a score of buildings,.
roads, ammunition dumps, and much
other war material. Walking under
the net, one could look up through it:
and see whatever was going on over-
head, but, viewed from the sky it
looked like a piece of woods.
There was the point, The caanou-'
flage was so perfect -as to deceive the
cameras carried by scouting allied
airplanes. The photographs they de-
livered showed only woods.
Problem to Deceive Camera.
The great problem of camouflage.
is to deceive the airplane's camera.
To accomplish this purpose, the most
effective means was a "flat top" of
chicken wire or fish net. stretched
between poles and decorated with..
numberless tied strips of inch -wide
colored burlap a foot long, to flutter
in the breeze and furnish shadows
varying naturally with the time of
day.
Photographed from far aloft, such
an arrangement had the appearance
of a wood or a field. A net thirty-
seven feet square thus disguised af-
fords protection for any gun up to
the size of a 9.2 -inch howitzer, with
its crew. For a ' "stabilized"-i,e.,
permanently established—battery tit
camouflaged position may cover 1
to 4000 square yards, or an area even
greater,
The main and all-important use of
camouflage is to conceal artillery. As
the saying goes "a battery seen is a
battery lost." Once located, the guns
may be quickly and inevitably wiped
out by shell -fire.
Selection of the ground is a natter
demanding expert pert judg ment.
Obviously it would not clo to put a
wood in a place where previously no
wood existed. Even the stupidest
Hun might suppose that a small for-
est could not grow up overnight. This
is a dimple proposition, but it illus-
trates the point.
Different Appearance From Sky.
Of vital consequence is the fact
that the eye of the camera in the
sky does not see things as we com-
monly see them. Take a field of grass
for instance. To our eyes the field
looks bright, the side of each blade
reflecting light. The camera, from
above, sees only, the points of the
blades, each of the latter throwing a
shadow. About the roots there are
masses of shadows. Consequently,
from the sky, the grassy field looks
dark.
It is quite another world that the
airplane -borne camera sees; and no
camouflage is possible without a thor-
ough knowledge of airplane photo-
graphy.
LORDS OF CREATION!
Yet Outdone in Physical Endurance
and Agility by Insects.
Do you know that, if you were only
to travel swiftly as the common or
domestic fly, says an English writer,
you could journey from London to
Brighton, take a look round, and be
back on your front doorstep before
your watch had registered five. min-
utes.
Do you know that, if you were gie,
agile as the elusive flea, you woti
think no more of hopping over the
London Monument, poised on the top
of St. Paul's Cathedral, than you
would, asa • mere
an, of jumping
over a footstool, or that, if you boast-
ed muscles proportionately es strong
as those of the said flea, you could
literally "support" four average fam-
ilies in addition to your oem; or—to
put it another way—that you could
easily raise a couple of mounted Life-
guardsmen off the ground!
Do you know that, if you were as
invulnerable as a beetle, you could
be riddled with bullets and transfixed
with bayonets, and yet survive to en-
joy your meals; or that, if you
brought to your meals the appetite
of a spider,. you could -eat the equie
valent of a prize ox in twenty-four
flours, and yet call for a "snack" be-
fore going to bed?
Do you know that, if you had the
industry and architectural ,skill of
the African ant, you could build for
yourself, without any assistance, a
pleasure house so lofty that the Eiffel.
Tower would serve as a doorstep to
it?
And yet you call yourself the "lord
of creation!"
