Description: Very early in the Second World War, the Luftwaffe had collected aerial photography of large tracts of the British Isles, as their reconnaissance aircraft were able to operate at heights far above the ceiling of British fighters. This image of the Rannoch hydro-electric power station was taken on 24 September 1940 and the key elements of the scheme were carefully annotated by photographic interpreters.
