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.
