Born in the crucible of the world’s Great War, aerial observation provides a 100-year case study on how human ingenuity and innovation were brought to bear to overcome the fog of war, unveiling the unknown. Simply put: you can’t fight what you can’t see. This makes the history of aerial observation a story of the warfighter’s ongoing struggle to push back the veil of the unknown, and how solutions were imagined, created and re-imagined, until the dream of providing real-time, mission-critical information to commanders in the field became a tangible reality.
