Description

A paper-bound book of aerial photographs of a raid on Vienna, Austria, by the British Royal Air Force on August 9, 1918. The 1,000 kilometer round trip was led by Major Gabrielle d'Annunzio, Italian poet and dramatist. This book, marked confidential, contains a brief typed summary of the contents, and is a diary-summary of the attack on Vienna. Included are a portion of a map showing the battle area with corrections which were made possible by aerial photography, and seven aerial photos of the area. Considering the flimsy paper cover, the documents are in fairly good condition. An envelope marekd with ''Reports/Photos, 14 Wing RAF in Italy, Aug. 1918,'' which provided a tight cover for the book of photographs during transit from England, is included.
