Best Answer

Airplanes weren't invented until 1903, so the 1800's is too early. In the civil war hot air ballons were used for the first aerial reconnaissance. Photography was also just invented in 1830 and the camera used was VERY big and heavy. It stood on a tripod with a glass plate for the negative and to develop the photo took some very toxic chemicals and the picture was either on glass, cardboard, or tin. The first photos taken of war was in the civil war by Mathew Brady.
