Title	Eyes and Ears: A History of Field Artillery Target Acquisition
Description	The conversion from direct fire to indirect fire at the beginning of the twentieth century dramatically changed field artillery target acquisition. Employing direct fire, cannoneers positioned their field pieces unprotected in the open at close range to see their enemy easily, to acquire their own targets, and to adjust their own fire. Indirect fire offered the solution.
Author	Dr. Boyd L. Dastrup
