The sheer volume of images captured during WWI meant that interpreting them became a crucial skill of its own. Photo interpretation teams learned to read shadows, study changes in the landscape, and spot subtle details that could signal a hidden threat or an impending attack. 🗃️

Improved camera technology changed the course of many battles. For example, during the 1916 Battle of the Somme, aerial photographs helped the British army understand the full extent of German defenses. With this intelligence, military planners were able to adjust their strategies accordingly. 🗃️

At the start of the WWI, aircraft were used primarily for observation—pilots flew over enemy lines, making notes and sketches of troop movements and fortifications. It quickly became clear that photographs provided far more accurate and detailed information than human observation alone. 🗃️

Grisham resigned on January 6, 2021, because she “couldn't be part of the insanity any longer.” On Trump: "He has no empathy, no morals, and no fidelity to the truth."
