The worlds first aerial photography?

[Kilby]

Pretty cool article about aerial photography from 1909. Great shots, considering what they were using for a craft!

very nice !

probably more reliable to get the cams back with those carrier pigeons than with our multi rotors

I'm guessing the RTH feature is equally as reliable as the DJI. If the DJI only returned based on how much we feed it.

I wonder how the wing loading changes if it takes a mid air crap. Must decrease the wind performance a bit.

It's funny to see shots wrapped in feathers!
