The Bavarian Pigeon Corps (or Bavarian Pigeon Fleet) was a fleet of carrier pigeons each of which could be fitted with a miniature leg- or breast-mounted camera. The pigeons were used during the early 1900s by the Bavarian Army for message transmission and aerial reconnaisance over their theatres of operation in Europe.
