Aviation cadets receiving instruction in artillery reporting and observation on a miniature range during World War One. The cadets, positioned in an airplane 6,000 feet in the air, observe accurate reproductions of the front lines on a map. Instructors use various lights to indicate the battle sector, while the cadets quickly transmit the location of artillery or bursting shells via radio. The accuracy and speed of their observations and transmissions determine their qualifications for this crucial branch of the military.
