This is a picture where the two towers at Johannisthal can be seen. The tower at the left looks somewhat different from the picture of the Manoli tower presented by Yavor.





The picture is captioned:

"Anthony Fokker fliegt auf seinem schnellen und leichten Militär Eindecker über Johannisthal, 1914".
Anthony Fokker flies with his speedy and light Military Monoplane over Johannisthal in 1914.
The machine he is flying is almost certainly a Fokker M.5.

Looking at this picture I think the picture may have been doctored with. The distance between the towers looks too short. The whole field looks smallish. The Fokker seems oversize.

Herewith I have a plan of Johannisthal

where I have marked the Rumpler factory, which is in the back of the picture. Although no scale is given from the Rumpler works to the other side of the field is at least 500 meter.
Am I too suspicious or is there something wrong with the perspective in this picture? And what were the dimensions of the flying field of Johannisthal in 1914?
