Abstract: The primary purpose of this report is to present the advantages, disadvantages, and limitations of aerial photographs and mosaics in land-use planning and land classification studies. The report is divided into two parts: Part I summarizes interpretation of aerial photographs and discusses their use as base in the field in lieu of outline maps; Part II deals with the methods and equipment used in taking aerial photographs, and was included in the belief that the information given will be of aid in understanding the discussion in Part I.
