This volume focuses on intelligence, the collected and interpreted information about adversaries, which is the basis of wise decisionmaking in war and is especially significant to air forces. Associate Justice of the U.S. Supreme Court Lewis F. Powell, Jr., was one of a small group of people specially selected to accept and integrate ULTRA, the most secret signals intelligence from intercepted and decoded German military radio transmissions, with intelligence from all other sources. From May 1944 to the end of the war in Europe, Powell served as the ULTRA officer on Gen. Carl Spaatz1s U.S. Strategic Air Forces staff. He finished the war as Spaatz1s Chief of Operational Intelligence in addition to carrying out his ULTRA duties. B&W photos.
