Scarce November 1917 "Notes on Identification of Aeroplanes" Issued by Signal Corps

This is a scarce World War I copy of "Notes on Identification of Aeroplanes". This handbook was issued by the United States Army Signal Corps in November 191 It has a short glossary of aircraft terms followed by many illustrations of British, French and German aircraft, pointing out their varying characteristics for identification purposes. Found inside the book was a typewritten page of questions from August 1917 (please see last photo). The book apparently belonged to a W. Bartlett at one time, but we have no information on this individual.

Circa 1917 (World War I).

52 pages including black and white photographs; approximately 7-3/8" in height and 9" in width.
