Salmson 2A2 aircraft of 99th Aero Squadron. Pilot and photographer-gunner board airplane, check guns, receive camera, and take ...
Aviation activities of American Expeditionary Forces in France during World War 1. Salmson 2A2 aircraft are parked in a field with men seated on the ground in the shade of their wings. A pilot, standing next to a Salmson 2A2, puts on his flight gear while smoking a cigarette. He climbs aboard the airplane which has the red and blue buffalo insignia of the 99th Aero Squadron painted on its fuselage. The photographer- gunner in rear cockpit loads canisters of ammunition on his Darne-built Lewis twin machine guns and checks the movement of the gun's scarff ring mounting. He receives an aerial camera from a ground crewman. Two airmen work on a Vickers machine gun installed beside the nose of the aircraft (synchronized to fire through the propeller). Scene shifts to an aircraft taking off. Camera shifts back to the aircraft getting ready, where a ground crewman pulls the propeller through to clear any hydraulic lock and the pilot starts the engine. The aircraft taxis and takes off.
