    Default Awesome WWI Aviation Photos in "The Atlantic"

    My apologies if I'm putting too much in this forum today, but this has to be shared. A photo gallery of WWI aviation photos from "The Atlantic". Truly wonderful photos - don't miss the "man-carrying kite", or the training gun which mimicked a Lewis but took photos instead of shooting bullets, or the Hannover CLII - yeah, just don't miss any of it, actually.

    Germany had Photoshop in 1915! I've seen that photo in one of my books. The author claimed the aircraft was added and the photo used for propaganda purposes in Germany.

    Thumbs up

    Some really great photos in that collection Joe.
    I particularly liked the original "colour" photos taken by the Australian photographer Frank Hurley.
