Caption from Catalogue of Photographs and Stereopticon Slides ... Oct. 25, 1917 to Jan. 31, 1918 from the Committee on Public Information: "Aviation Trainingg:
Here we see a more intimate study of men becoming familiar
with the delicate mechanism of the automatic rifle.
This group of students at a ground school is being instructed by an experienced aviator
who is pointing out on a diagram on the blackboard the construction of such valuable guns.
This instruction is vital because upon accurate shooting under adverse conditions
depends America's supremacy in the air."
