Abstract	Successfully deploying advances in technology and science was crucial to gaining a winning edge in World War I. Over the course of the war, the Ottoman military, often assisted by their German allies, invested substantial resources in increasing the empire's technological capacities. The army made considerable headway in expanding infrastructure and building an air force – projects involving feats of engineering they often documented and circulated using the latest technology in photography and film. Nonetheless, some major projects, such as the railway, remained incomplete until the war's end, undermining the army's capacity to fully exploit such technological achievements.
