BLETCHLEY PARK AIR SECTION SIGNALS
INTELLIGENCE SUPPORT TO RAF BOMBER COMMAND
by Wing
Commander John Stubbington
This is an examination of the connection between
Bletchley Park and the Combined Bombing Offensive carried
out by Bomber Command and the US Army 8th Air Force,
1943-1945, with particular reference to the Y-Service and
Radio Countermeasures operations by No. 100 (Bomber Support)
Group. The operational connection between them has hitherto
remained obscure. With a Foreword by Sir Arthur Bonsall,
KCMG, a founder member of the Air Section at Bletchley and

From 5th to 20th July, 1944, American invasion forces ran
into fierce resistance around the French town of Saint-Lô,
an important railway and road communications center in
Normandy. As well as Heer divisions such as the Panzer Lehr,
GIs had to fight the redoubtable German Fallschirmjäger and
Waffen-SS units who extracted a heavy price for each
hedgerow and each village they took. Didier Lodieu paints an
accurate picture of the Battle for Saint-Lô, from original
unit logbooks and first hand accounts from veterans. The
book is illustrated with almost 300 previously unpublished
photos.

Plataea was one of the biggest and most important
land battles of ancient history. Close to 100,000
hoplite and lightly armed Greeks took on an even
larger barbarian army that included elite Asian
cavalry and infantry, with thousands of Greek
hoplites and cavalry also fighting on the Persian
side. At points in the several days of combat, the
Persians came close to breaking the Greek defensive
line and succeeded in cutting off their supplies.
But, in a fatal gamble, their general Mardonius
committed the cream of his infantry to
close-quarters combat with the Spartans and their
Peloponnesian allies.

HIGH NOON OF EMPIRE: THE DIARY OF LIEUTENANT COLONEL HENRY TYNDALL 1895-1915
Edited by B. A. 'Jimmy' James
Henry Tyndall was a typical product of the Victorian age - an intensely patriotic army officer who served in India, on the North-West Frontier, on the Western Front and in East Africa at the height of the British empire. For 20 years, from 1895 to 1915, he kept a detailed diary that gives a vivid insight into his daily life and concerns, his fellow officers and men, and the British army of his day. He also left a graphic account of his experiences on campaign in the First World War and in the Third Afghan War. B.A. 'Jimmy' James has edited and annotated Tyndall's diary in order to make it fully accessible to the modern reader.
