ARTIFACT:
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 1917. 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.
