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.

This booklet is not a definitve history of the Intelligence Corps, nor is it a story of daring deeds or marvellous exploits of which there are many - these and many other aspects of Corps history are well covered in other publications.
So, what does it offer? Its aim is to reveal those areas which are part and parcel of the Corps history but are perhaps less well known. We hope that what you are reading will be informative, even entertaining and occasionally surprising.
Most of the material presented to you has been derived from or processed through the collections of the Corps Archive.
