I began to get really interested that we had satellites and remote sensing back then. If only we had, the world might be different.
When I was in high school I saw a ground pic of a pretty cool aerial photo test using a rapid strobe for nighttime spy missions. The test was a perfectly illuminated Stonehenge.

Stonehenge Strobe Photo
During World War II, Harold Edgerton, a famous photographer and MIT professor, was asked to develop a new photographic technique for the British military. This technique involved using a high-power strobe light attached to a bomber to illuminate Stonehenge from above, similar to the drone techniques used by modern photographers like Reuben Wu.
Edgerton’s work was crucial for aerial reconnaissance at night, and he tested his system in the area around Stonehenge a few weeks before D-Day to ensure that the timing for the Normandy landings was correct.
The images captured confirmed that the Germans had not amassed extra forces in Normandy at night, which was vital for the success of the operation.
Additionally, a collection of aerial photographs taken during World War II by the US Army Air Forces Photographic Reconnaissance units has been made available to the public. These images include a photo taken on Christmas Eve in 1943 of Stonehenge, which shows markings highlighting the location of a First World War aerodrome and camp.
