- Title
Photographic Air Reconnaissance during the Spanish Civil War, 1936–1939: Doctrine and Operations.
- Authors
Bonilla, Diego Navarro; Cano, Guillermo Vicente
- Abstract
The doctrine and real use of aerial photography in Spain during the Spanish Civil War are studied. Both the Republican and rebel air forces developed their observation, reconnaissance, and aerial photography capacities, resources, and structures, which were generally grouped around the second sections of the air general staff. The successful operational and tactical exploitation of this special information provided to land forces is also examined. Finally, the ways of gathering, processing, analysing, and producing photographic intelligence are identified as decisive elements in the high command’s modern decision-making process.
