Spitfire Photo-Recce Units of World War 2: 150 (Combat Aircraft) - Softcover
Book 120 of 126: Combat Aircraft
Synopsis
A fascinating exploration of the feats of the RAF’s photographic reconnaissance aircraft.
The photographic reconnaissance (PR) versions of the Supermarine Spitfire saw service against the Axis Tripartite throughout World War 2. Its superior performance even led to the USAAF adopting the type for the Eighth Air Force’s reconnaissance needs in Europe. PR Spitfires were responsible for some of the most significant intelligence finds of the war – from low-level oblique photographs of new German radars in France to locating the battleship Bismarck off the Norwegian coast before it attempted to sortie into the Atlantic. It has been estimated that as much as 80 per cent of Allied intelligence was gathered from aerial photographs, many of which were taken by cameras installed in PR Spitfires.
In this volume, RAF PR specialist Andrew Fletcher details the important part played by the small number of ‘photo-recce’ Spitfires in the key theatres of World War 2. His detailed text, which includes numerous first-hand accounts, chronicles operations from the first months of the conflict through to VJ Day.
