WW II Aerial Photographs Released

Long before Google Earth, pilots risked their lives and died in unarmed photo reconnaissance aircraft to bring back astonishingly detailed images of enemy facilities and bomb damage. Now a new collection of vintage recon photos has been launched on the Web in England. From the Daily Mail via Instapundit.
Alan Williams, manager of the National Collection of Aerial Photography which houses the photos, said: 'The archive literally shows the world at war.'
