Re: REVUE and BAEDECKER missions
OK - Operation Revue (or Review -both spellings occur) was a major programme to create a photographic cover of the United Kingdom in the absence of up to date OS mapping. It started in 1945 and continued on until 1947/8. The UK was imaged at two photoscales -1:27,500, and 1: 10,000. There were a number of towns and places (eg marshalling yardss) which were flown at 1:5000.
If you want to 'Review' cover (small scale stuff), look at the Historic layer of Google Earth, set the slider for the 1940s. It was put there by our Company, The GeoInformation Group.
Let me know if you want more information on this interesting topic.
