    "Carrier pigeons in Germany are being used to make aerial photographs by means of tiny automatic cameras which operate while the birds are in flight. Two hundred views can be taken by such a camera on one flight the shutter starting to click affter the bird is in the air. Pigeons are trained at a special Government school for this work as well asi for carrying message tubes which are attached to their legs while the camera is strapped to the breast." (from "Carrier pigeons with cameras", 1932)
