He is well known for his varied career as an artist, a celebrated photographer and a museum curator. However, Steichen is less known for his pivotal role in shaping America's first experiments in aerial photography as a tool for intelligence gathering in what may be called his 'lost years'. In Camera Aloft, Von Hardesty tells how Steichen volunteered in 1917 to serve in the American Expeditionary Forces (AEF). He rose rapidly in the ranks of the Air Service, emerging as Chief of Air Photography during the dramatic final offensives of the war. His photo sections were responsible for the rapid processing of aerial images gained through the daily and hazardous sorties over the front and in the enemy rear areas. What emerged in the eighteen months of his active service was a new template for modern aerial reconnaissance. The aerial camera, as with new weapons such as the machine gun, the tank and the airplane, profoundly transformed modern warfare.Cambridge Centennial of Flight.World War, 1914-1918PhotographyAerial observation (Military science)United StatesHistory20th centuryWorld War, 1914-1918Aerial operations, AmericanWorld War, 1914-1918Pictorial worksWorld War, 1914-1918CampaignsWestern FrontWar photographersUnited StatesBiographyWar photographyUnited StatesWorld War, 1914-1918Photography.Aerial observation (Military science)HistoryWorld War, 1914-1918Aerial operations, American.World War, 1914-1918World War, 1914-1918CampaignsWar photographersWar photography940.4/4973092BHardesty Von1939-1074790Eisman GeneUkCbUPUkCbUPBOOK9910137218503321Camera aloft2581864UNINA00846nam a2200229 i 450099100322453970753620020503185136.0990611s1937 it ||| | ita b10475710-39ule_instEXGIL117241ExLBiblioteca InterfacoltàitaSoffici, Ardengo153252KobilekFirenze :Vallecchi,1937235 p. ;20 cm..b1047571002-04-1427-06-02991003224539707536LE002 Fondo Giudici M 11041LE002G-1104le002-E0.00-no 00000.i1054961427-06-02LE002 Fondo Bodini It. 38512002000995032le002-E0.00-lo 00000.i1516913314-09-10Kobilek99312UNISALENTOle00201-01-99ma -itait 01
