On 5 December a low level reconnaissance flight by Tony Hill took very clear front and side pictures of the Wuerzburg radar with a person in the frame which allowed the size of the radar dish about 3 meters (10 feet) in diameter to be assesed.

Just check how excellent pics he took!

Tony Hill subsequently took nearly all the most dangerous obliques of the radar stations that we wanted, and we owed him a very great debt for his skill, courage and enterprise.

He died in a German hospital of wounds received while photographing Le Creusot on Trafalgar Day, 1942; it was a sortie so dangerous that he, as squadron commander, would allow none of his pilots to do it.

Any books or the kind on the man?
