Hello !
I copied that from some old glass plate-negatives ( dated 1915 ) from my collection. It shows some planes of the Imperial Austro-Hungarian Army on an airfield near Vienna. Austrias first "Airforce" was called the "Kuk. Luftfahrttruppe" ( Imperially and kingly Aviation Troop / hope this is a useful translation ) The planes are probably made by the Lohner Works Vienna and are equipped with 120 HP Daimler engines ( designed by the young Ferdinand Porsche, who later invented the VW Beetle ). The aerial camera is an austrian Lechner&Müller model for 13x18cm reconnaissance pictures. I had to mark them with the copyright-sign, because some of my pictures i had sent to some friends, appeared afterwards unquestioned on web-sites and in a book.
I like these old planes !
