    Unbelievable. They are every bit as good as what we see today. Amazing technology from 65 years ago. Thanks, Gordon.

    Great photos!

    However, I think that the British exaggerated on the bombing of cities (that bomber Harris...):

    The Americans that made the difference in the bombing effort, bombing industrial targets and reducing war production significantly.

    Shame on the British Government for charging for these historic images.

    Image Sales

    The U.S. National Archives would have released these photos to the world
    if it owned them.
