An aerial view of a poison gas, flame and smoke attack by the French across no man's land in Flanders, Belgium. The effectiveness of the flame throwers and gas was often linked to the direction and speed of the wind, as well as the distance to the enemies position. Invented during this war, the flame thrower shot "liquid fire" onto the battlefield.
