Summary: "The Face of the Earth as Seen from the Air" by Willis T. Lee is a scientific publication written in the early 20th century. The book explores the application of airplane photography to geography, revealing new insights into the Earth's surface and features from an aerial perspective. It likely serves as a comprehensive examination of how aerial observations and photographs can enhance geographical studies and mapping techniques. The opening of the work introduces the rapidly evolving technology of airplane photography and its emergent importance in various fields, including military reconnaissance and scientific research. Lee outlines the purpose of his study, which entails using aerial photographs to collect information about land forms, environmental features, and urban planning. He expresses enthusiasm for the possibilities this technology presents to geographers and geologists, emphasizing its value in observing and documenting geographical features in a way that traditional methods cannot achieve.
