Disclose Notes: This is separate from the Edison Bell story, but is billed as "Edison Bell's Gift to Plane Spotters..." Consists of instructions showing readers how to make a device that projects silhouettes of war planes on the wall, so their shapes can be memorized. This allows civilians to identify friendly and enemy aircraft during wartime.
