Army Air Service pilots skillfully lay down a dense smoke screen between the Battery on Manhattan and Governors Island in New York City. The photograph was taken from Governors Island itself, offering a unique perspective as Manhattan emerges through the thick veil of smoke. The scene evokes an air of mystery and intrigue as the cityscape becomes partially obscured by the billowing clouds. This display of military tactics showcases the ingenuity and defensive capabilities of the United States Army during this era.
