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.
