What's REALLY interesting about The Rise and Fall of the German Air Force as a 1948 publication, is that it directly quotes (without quotation marks) paraphrased ULTRA intelligence, as now found in the DEFE 3 series at The National Archives.

British Air Ministry Phamphets never attributed authorship, other than sometimes the originating agency.
