Measurements are reported on the fluorescence of air as a function of depth
in electromagnetic showers initiated by bunches of 28.5 GeV electrons. The
light yield is compared with the expected and observed depth profiles of
ionization in the showers. It validates the use of atmospheric fluorescence
profiles in measuring ultra high energy cosmic rays.
