An Incredible pictorial history of the 5th Photo Section Air Service the album owner seems to be “Pops” Reynolds. They flew Recon Missions in France in 1918 under the Aero XIII C.A (see photo of Recon on 16 May 1918) Many of the photos are noted on the rear and have an array of different content, I was unable to find much information even on this unit. Many photos show the daily life of the Section and include two interesting photos of personalities – Captain Adams, and Lt Esley. Both seem to be leading the Photo Section. Interestingly there are photos of many different aircraft including, Handley Page During the First World War, Handley Page produced a series of heavy bombers for the Royal Navy to bomb the German Zeppelin yards, with the ultimate intent of bombing Berlin in revenge for the Zeppelin attacks on London. Handley Page had been asked by the Admiralty to produce a “bloody paralyser of an aeroplane”.[citation needed] These aircraft included the O/100 of 1915, the O/400 of 1918 and the four-engined V/1500 with the range to reach Berlin. The V/1500 had only just entered operational service as the war ended in 1918. General Liggett Lieutenant General Hunter Liggett (March 21, 1857 − December 30, 1935) was a senior United States Army officer. His 42 years of military service spanned the period from the Indian campaigns to the trench warfare of World War I. Additionally, he also identified possible invasion sites in Luzon, particularly Lingayen Gulf, which were used during World War II in 1941 by the Japanese and in 1945 by the United States.
