In this photo, taken on October 8, 1918 at Taliaferro Field in Fort Worth, Texas, a class in machine gun pointing is using gun cameras. These cameras capture a series of pictures of the target, and with the help of cross hairs, they show where the hits would have landed if a real gun had been fired. The photo was passed by the censor on December 13, 1918.
