File talk:Aerial view Dardanelles town 1915 1.jpg
the aerial view is in the village of Tenedo, in Tenedo island, and not Gelibolu. Francesco Andrea Becca Italy —Preceding unsigned comment was added by 2001:B07:645E:4117:9CB2:DC0B:FF8B:2C44 (talk) 20:00, 23 May 2020 (UTC)
This photo is the twin photo of the first shot = https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Aerial_view_Dardanelles_town_1915_1.jpg = and in the original description of the book "The War Illustrated" it is clearly reported that << View of a Tenedos as seen from a French airplane. As over Eastern and Western Europe, the Alllies aircraft services are proving invaluable in the Dardanelles operations. >> Reading the original citation of the source it can clearly be seen that even in the original publication the site is Tenedo. In fact, the original book "The War Illustrated" also reports for this second photo = https: //commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File: Aerial_view_Dardanelles_town_1915_2.jpg = the phrase: << Another view of the same town from the opposite direction , showing plainly the Turkish forts guarding the mouth of the bay. These unique photographs, taken during an aerial scouting expedition, give a graphic idea of how aerial reconnaissances are carried out.
From a careful analysis of the photo it is irrefutable that the location taken is not the city of Chanak, but is the village of Tenedo, in the homonymous island. The fortress on the port, the walls of the fortress, the promontory that closes the port, the 2 loops above the port, the islet in front of the third loop, and the urban road network have basically remained unchanged until today. . Using Google Earth it is very easy to verify this reality. Ing. Francesco Becca — Preceding unsigned comment was added by 93.56.79.146 (talk) 09:37, 21 July 2020 (UTC)
