"This document contains information affecting the national defense of the United States with the meaning of the Espionage Act 50 U.S.C. 31 and 32 as Amended. Its transmission or the revelation of its contents in any manner to an unauthorized person is prohibited by law." The present manual was primarily designed for self-instruction and general use but also served as a text in recognition course. It includes four types of material: black and shite silhouettes wash drawings protographs and editorial matter. Silhouettes are the foundation on which all recognition training is based. The first requirement in warfare is the ability to distinguish friend from foe. Nowhere is this more difficult than in the air. Owing to the great speeds and heights attained by modern aircraft recognition is frequently dependent on a momentary glimpse. In the same way instant and accurate recognition of surface craft mechanized ground equipment etc. is fraught with great difficulties owning to varying conditions of visibility distance and variety of types. Before the outbreak of this war few realized the grave problems of recognition that the increasing dominance of air power would present. The existence of these problems was soon apparent when after two months the casualties of the British Advance Air Striking Force in France amount to:--Shot down by the Germans eight; shot down by the French nine. In those days the only questions asked was "Is it in range' Since them mistakes in recognition on the sea on land and in the air have been too numerous to mentions. Usually these mistakes are attended by the most serious consequences. It is now fully realized that the only way to prevent these occurrences is by demanding the highest general level of proficiency in recognition throughout the services. This can only be attained by concentrated study. It is not suggested that practice will main one absolutely perfect with it will certainly go most of the way toward reducing the changes of a man being a danger not only to himself but to his comrades-in-arms. The Navy's problem at sea whether on warship or merchant ship is to know as soon as possible where any aircraft or ship within sight is friendly or hostile what type it is and how it is likely to attack and from that to estimate the best method of defense. The Army's problems are also varied. Antiaircraft gunners should be able to recognize any airplane within range or likely to come within range whether flying directly toward the battery or not. Instant recognition save lives and leads to the destruction of the enemy. The first thin to be appreciated is that recognition does not begin and end with appearance. It is also essential to recognize the exact type. U.S. Navy Department paperback
