Using this equipment about 20 000 hectares of tropical terrain were
photographed from a flying altitude above sea-level of between 800—
2 600 metres. Elevations of the ground were between 4— 850 metres
above sea-level. Photographs were taken at speeds between 130—200
km/h.
Aerial photography was planned also from higher aititude, but this
turned out to be impossible because of weather conditions. A flying
height of 2 600 metres means a negativ-scale of about 1:20 800. In this
scale the signals of 1.4 X 1.4 metres were of good visibility.
Photography was carried out with Kodak Super XX Aerographic
film and the rolls were processed during the nights in a provisional
darkroom. Because of the high temperatures just under the equator, a
