Hardcover. Zustand: Very good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Good. 22 cm. [12], 222, [4] pages. Bookplate inside the front cover. DJ has slight wear and soiling and small edge tears. Frederick William Winterbotham CBE (16 April 1897 - 28 January 1990) was a British Royal Air Force officer (latterly a Group Captain) who during Wor…ld War II supervised the distribution of Ultra intelligence. His book The Ultra Secret was the first popular account of Ultra to be published in Britain. In 1974, Winterbotham's book, The Ultra Secret, was the first book in English about Ultra, and it explained what Ultra was, and revealed Winterbotham's role, particularly with regard to the dissemination and use of Ultra. Winterbotham's book was the first extensive account of the uses to which the massive volumes of Enigma-derived intelligence were put by the Allies, on the western and eastern European fronts, in the Mediterranean, North Africa, and most crucially, in the Battle of the Atlantic. Winterbotham acknowledged that he had only slight understanding of the cryptologic side of the multi-faceted and compartmentalized Ultra operation. Noted in the book is the myth of Churchill and the Coventry Blitz. Coventry was severely bombed by the Luftwaffe on the night of 14-15 November. Winterbotham asserted that Enigma decrypts provided warning of the raid but that Churchill decided not to take countermeasures that might alert the Germans that the British were reading Enigma. This story has been refuted by historians. Winterbotham concluded that the war's outcome "was, in fact, a very narrow shave, and the reader may like to ponder [.] whether or not we might have won had we not had Ultra". Derived from a Kirkus review: Blackly amused reminiscences by the best-selling author of The Ultra Secret, who tells about his activities as a double agent, working for RAF air intelligence while deep into dalliance with the Nazi air force in the Thirties and supposedly giving them secrets. Winterbotham himself is "the Nazi connection" and his biggest hook-ups are with Alfred Rosenberg, the anti-Bolshevik architect of Hitler's Aryan myth, who was also the editor of the Party newspaper. Through Rosenberg, Winterbotham came to Hitler's attention and Goering's, and since the Nazis wanted to prove they had no animus toward Britain, they befriended Winterbotham so that he would take Hitler's peace murmurings straight to Whitehall. Meanwhile, Winterbotham was setting up his RAF intelligence apparatus and getting big secrets out of Germany. Too big! Nobody would believe him when he described the Stuka dive bomber as it had been described to him at the Luftwaffe Club in Berlin; the RAF people dismissed the very idea of dive-bombing as "a waste of time and energy. . ." But the RAF itself is a junior service arm and not much respected--no one (except the Germans) expects wars to be fought in the air. A master spy who went into the field urbanely reviews the Nazis. First Edition [Stated], First Printing [Stated].

Winterbotham's life spans the whole of this century, and he has been involved in some of its most dramatic and dangerous moments. Frederick William Winterbotham CBE (16 April 1897 - 28 January 1990) was a British Royal Air Force officer (latterly a Group Captain) who during World War II supervised the distribution of Ultra intelligence. His book The Ultra Secret was the first popular account of Ultra to be published in Britain. In 1916 he transferred to the Royal Flying Corps and became a fighter pilot. He was shot down and captured on 13 July 1917, in Passchendaele, and spent the rest of the war in Holzminden prisoner-of-war camp. After the war, Winterbotham began the process of building up an intelligence service for the RAF. His job was to gather information on the development of military aviation in hostile or potentially hostile countries. He recruited agents, and filed and analyzed their reports. In 1938, Winterbotham recruited Sidney Cotton to carry out some very successful aerial reconnaissance over Italy and Germany in 1939-40 in a private Lockheed 12A aircraft. In 1974, Winterbotham's book, The Ultra Secret, was published. This was the first book in English about Ultra, and it explained what Ultra was, and revealed Winterbotham's role, particularly with regard to the dissemination and use of Ultra. There had been mentions of Enigma decryption in earlier books by Wladyslaw Kozaczuk, Ladislas Farago and Gustave Bertrand. However, Winterbotham's book was the first extensive account of the uses to which the massive volumes of Enigma-derived intelligence were put by the Allies, on the western and eastern European fronts, in the Mediterranean, North Africa, and perhaps most crucially, in the Battle of the Atlantic. Winterbotham is well-known for his bestselling books The Ultra Secret and The Nazi Connection, which revealed the secret of the Ultra decrypts for the first time. He was Churchill's personal liaison with Bletchley Park, the country house where the Enigma codes were decrypted, and was at Churchill's right hand during some of the most important secret decisions of World War II. His autobiography contains many cameos of important figures of the time, as well as eye-witness accounts of historic events. His is a charming and delightful story.
