It's amazing that a book like this can be published. It's mostly declassified aerial (and some terrestrial) photos and the process of photo interpretation both failures and successes (camo successes, pages from Nazi captured Soviet camo manuals, etc.). A stereo viewer (not the red-green kind) is useful for a few of the small number of photo pairs.

Stanley appears in a recent Nova on image intelligence, so he must still be alive.
