Documentary about Spitfire pilots in WWII
For those of you who have read Diana Gabaldon's story, "A Leaf on the Wind of All Hallows", here's a very interesting documentary, 3D Spies of WWII, that aired recently on the PBS series "Nova".
The program goes into great detail about the Spitfire pilots, their role in aerial photo-reconnaissance, how the millions of photos they took were analyzed and interpreted, and how the information contained in those photos helped the Allies defeat the Nazis in WWII. Fascinating stuff!
I think Jerry MacKenzie would be very proud to know that his fellow Spitfire photo-reconnaissance pilots played such an important part in helping to defeat the Nazis. And I'm sure Jerry would have been right there with them, had fate and a stone circle not intervened. <g>
If you haven't yet read "A Leaf on the Wind of All Hallows", I would highly recommend it. There's more information about the story here.
