The title on this glass negative, "1st German Plane of Lt. Cambell," comes from caption data the Bain News Service recorded on its negatives or cards, and the catalog notes that it is unverified, so the officer's identity and the aircraft's history remain uncertain. Bain's agency supplied news pictures to newspapers across the country, and enemy aircraft that had come down in Allied hands were a steady subject for editors during the First World War. The plate is undated, but its subject places it within that period of intense public interest in aviation, when photographs of captured machines let readers see planes that had recently been little more than rumor.
