SNF71226 (Vertical Aerial Photograph) - Norfolk Air Photo Library: Royal Flying Corps Collection

The Royal Flying Corps (RFC) was founded in April 1914 and continued until 1918, when it became the principal element of the RAF. In its early years, the corps was primarily used for reconnaissance and its members were instrumental in developing the first practical aerial cameras. The NAPL holds a small collection of copy prints of images taken by members of the RFC, which were donated by several private individuals. The collection includes a mixture of aerial photographs of the county and images of members of the RFC.
