Aviation
and photography share an oddly parallel history, as embodied in the
art of aerial photography. Starting with early glass plate cameras carried
under balloons, aerial photography was quickly taken up by the military.
Soon customised cameras were built, using special films and carried
on dedicated aircraft. Modern aerial colour film is typically ten inches
wide, producing images of exquisite detail for mapping and surveying.
Special infrared-sensitive films are used for archaeological survey,
irrigation and drainage studies in agriculture and in town planning.
