Signal Corps also was the Wright brothers first customer. SC purchased a couple of the original designs and test  flew them in the DC area.

Hi Ken,



The Signal Corps was the Army's IT department since about 1861. 
They trained photographers and cinematographers.

Folks,



I stumbled upon a film on the National Archive site of
Signal Corps Training in 1918.  Of course it's silent, and
it's just a collection of clips without much information. 
I've added some comments, identifying what things I could.



Take a look on my site:  http://www.ar88.net/sc/Sig_Corps_Training_1918_Rev_0-1.m4v 




Let me know if you have anything to add or correct.  Can
anyone identify the locations?  A college or whatever near
the beginning, and a major base, and a parade in a city
later on.



Enjoy,

Al
