EXPERIMENT CONDUCTED BY

Y, DEMONSTRATES ITS PRAC-
TICABILITY.

Rochester, n. Y, November 2l'--
Aerial photography at night is an &C.
complished fact.
One of the most important expert
ments of recent years, looking to the
advancement of photography as
means of revealing enemy secrets to
American forces in time of war, was
proclaimed this afternoon a complete
success.
1t was announced at the Kodak
Park Laboratories of the Eastman
Kodak Company that army tests made
over Rochester last night, using q
Martin bombing plane and so pounds
of flashlight powder, had produced
remarkably clear photographs. Tests
were under the direction of Lieuten-
ant George w. Goddard.
"Only an erroneous estimate OF the
amount of flashlight powder needed
or a rocking plane could have pre-
vented successful pictures resulting,
Goddard said.
Darkness became daylight twice
last night for the brief space of one
fiftieth of a second. The powder,
dropped from an altitude of 5000
feet, ignited with defamation thar
shook hundreds of Rochester build
ings and broke windows in isolated
houses.
