World War II Spy Photographs Made Public for the First Time

The Nov. 22nd Mirror.co.uk reports that photographs made during World War II are available to the public for the first time.

These are very clear photos made by surveillance flights and have just been declassified (about time, after 60 years, I doubt that much is up to date).

Millions of photos were made from aircraft and then sent to interpreters in England, many of whom were women, who would minutely study them to glean vital intelligence. Winston Churchill's daughter Sarah was one of these women.

The Aeriel Archives, some ten million photos are now available.
