World War Two From Above retells the fascinating and hitherto little-known story of the battle waged by Allied and Axis spies to obtain accurate aerial intelligence during the Second World War. It features dozens of the eye-catching aerial reconnaissance photographs drawn from the archives compiled by all the major fighting powers. The accompanying text sheds light on the daring pilots who risked death to shoot these photographs, and the photographic interpreters who pioneered a totally new science to reveal secrets they contained.
Inspiring, informative, and entertaining special features focus on particularly crucial operations from the hunt for the Bismarck, the Dam Busters, D-Day landings and bridge over the River Kwai.
