Winston S. Churchill, Closing the Ring
Prime Minister to Chief of the Air Staff 5 June 44
Thank you for your minute of May 17, enclosing photographs taken from the air and with the latest camera modification. They show a remarkable improvement in technique, and I hope we have ample special cameras available for use in operations.
Lord Cherwell also showed me a night photograph taken by similar technique which was very much better defined than any night photos I have previously seen. No doubt the enemy will do much of his movement by night, so that we should make sure cameras for this sort of work are ready.
Winston S. Churchill, Triumph and Tragedy
