Air Spy
The true story told here has the pace and dramatic interest of a good suspense novel. It is the full story--told for the first time--of Photographic Intelligence: what is means, how it works and what it actually achieved in World War II. This new branch of Intelligence depended for its effectiveness, as Intelligence always has, on the talents of individual men and women. These were the pilots who flew alone and unarmed to get the pictures, and the interpretors whose skill and patience produced from the photographs a uniquely concise type of Intelligence on a great variety of subjects. AIR SPY provides a new behind-the-scenes angle on some of the most dramatic and important events of the war in Europe: the Bismarck chase, the Commando raids, the great Allied bombing offensive, D-Day itself, incredibly accurate forecasts of U-boat and aircraft production, and the analyzing of the German V-Weapon threat month before the first buzz bomb appeared over England.

Operation Crossbow
Told for the first time, the real story behind the top secret World War Two operations Crossbow and Bodyline. How the top secret Aerial Reconnaissance unit at Medmenham in Buckinghamshire found and destroyed the V-1 and V-2 sites at Peenemunde. The story of the photographic intelligence work undertaken from a country house at Medmenham, Buckinghamshire, is one of the great lost stories of the Second World War. At its peak in 1944, almost 2,000 British and American men and women worked at the top-secret Danesfield House, interpreting photographs -- the majority stereoscopic so they could be viewed in 3D -- to unlock secrets of German military activity and weapons development. Millions of aeri...
Spies In The Sky
SPIES IN THE SKY is the thrilling, little-known story of the partner organisation to the famous code-breaking centre at Bletchley Park. It is the story of the daring reconnaissance pilots who took aerial photographs over Occupied Europe during the most dangerous days of the Second World War, and of the photo interpreters who invented a completely new science to analyse those pictures. They were inventive and ingenious; they pioneered the development of 3D photography and their work provided vital intelligence throughout the war. With a whole host of colourful characters at its heart, from the legendary pilot Adrian 'Warby' Warburton, who went missing while on a mission, to photo interpreters Glyn Daniel, later a famous television personality, and Winston Churchill's daughter, Sarah, SPIES IN THE SKY is compelling reading and the first full account of the story of aerial photography and the intelligence gleaned from it in nearly fifty years.
