Major Brian Urquhart, the twenty-five year old intelligence chief on LTG Roy Browning's I Airborne Corps staff, was sufficiently alarmed to request that air reconnaissance be flown over the Arnhem area on 12 September, five days prior to D-Day. However, because of bad weather, sorties employing a total of eight aircraft were only flown on 12 and 16 September. Of the results of these flights though, there is a marked discrepancy. While the official post-war narrative says that "nothing significant" was observed; Major Urquhart recalled that five oblique angle pictures showed "the unmistakable presence of German armor" in the Arnhem area.
