Re: WWII Clandestine Photo Reconnaissance

Hello,

about Cotton :
Anthony Cave Brown (the secret war- part I) writes about Cotton and Ultra:
(p 55 ):

"MI6 London sent Sidney COTTON with a Lockheed a/c to pick up the polish LEWINSKI,his wife and all the material about Ultra in Orly airport , France (with a spitfires escort) . LEWINSKI is one of the men who gave the secret of ULTRA to allied countries. In Orly he met Dunderdale (a MI6 man) and Lewinski family.
But a very fortunate frenchman who wanted to go over proposed a lot of money to Dundernale to be picked up. Dunderdale refused, but the same man proposed the same deal to Cotton who accepted.
In a hurry Dunderdale had to phone to London MI6 which ordered Cotton to take off whitout delay with the Lewinski and Dunderdale only".

the upper is the translation of what Anthony Cave Brown has wrote about this particular event in the story of ULTRA.
