The change in role of the pilot from "driver" occured when duplication of the German-developed interruptor gear attached to a captured Fokker, allowing forward firing through the propellor, was applied to British aircraft, allowing the pilot and his aeroplane to become an effective attacking forward gun platform. The Observer role continued and also took on the active role of gunner with a semi-fixed multi-directional gun. Badge Until late 1915 most observers were posted to squadrons direct from their battalions, and learned their new skills at the Front. Even after that there was no dedicated observer school throughout most of 1916, and most observers were posted to squadrons in England that were mobilising for France, and got what training they could in the squadron. It was only in the autumn of 1916 that an observer section was formed at the wireless school at Brooklands with an output of about twenty observers per month.
