AB  - The author reexamines the bombings of Germany, totaling more than 1.4 million missiles, that took out oil refineries, industries, and transportation infrastructures vital to the Reich's war effort. While other accounts have focused on operational details, this is the first book to reveal the crucial role of air intelligence in these dramatic campaigns. The author describes the close ties that developed between the Royal Air Force's "precision intelligence" arm and the U.S. Army Air Force's "precision bombardment" forces, telling how the RAF's photographic reconnaissance and signals intelligence steered both British and American bombers to the right targets at the right intervals with the right munitions. Drawing on a huge collection of bomb-damage assessment photographs and a wealth of other archival sources, he shows that the success of the war can be traced directly to the success of air intelligence.
