Air Survey Methods | Nature

ABSTRACT THE increasing use of aerial photography for mapping makes the publication of a simple handbook on the subject very welcome. This has been written by Lieut. J. S. A. Salt under the

title of “A Simple Method of Surveying from Air Photographs” and published as No. 8 of the Professional Papers of the Air Survey Committee (London: H.M. Stationery Office, 4_s_.). The book

aims at explaining the methods required in the production of medium-scale maps based on a limited ground control and involving the use of comparatively simple apparatus. The demands made on

pilot and navigator are explained and there is a full discussion of the relation between ground control and plotting and the problems of the cartographer in general. The work is clearly

written and amply illustrated with diagrams and plates. It should prove a useful guide and textbook. Access through your institution Buy or subscribe This is a preview of subscription
