Now I am wondering, what kind of camera, and what kind of tilt and/or shift might of been used?

Hi, Joseph.

Found this info about Arthur Mole and his photography. I think it may be what your are after.

If this doesn't work, all I did to find it was to Google Arthur Mole.

Haha. Interesting that it was done in Iowa. Never knew that. I wonder if Camp Dodge has a copy hanging somewhere.

"Almost a century ago and without the aid of any pixel-generating computer software, the itinerant photographer Arthur Mole (1889-1983) used his 11 x 14-inch view camera to stage a series of extraordinary mass photographic spectacles that choreographed living bodies into symbolic formations of religious and national community."

Looks more like 3,000 men to me rather than 18,000.
