This is the story of the daring reconnaissance pilots who took aerial photographs over Occupied Europe during the most dangerous days of World War II, and of the photo interpreters who invented a completely new science to analyze those pictures. They were inventive and ingenious; they pioneered the development of 3-D photography and their work provided vital intelligence throughout the war.
