*RAF Bomber Command No. 8 (Pathfinder Force) Group. An archive of over 1,000 mostly vintage photographs from the collection of Squadron Leader Howard Lees (1907-2006), circa 1942-46, including approximately 700 night and day bombing aerial photographs, photograph time, place, altitude, photographer, etc. details in the image at foot of each photograph, plus photographs of 63 Pathfinder HQ staff, London and Paris, aircraft, technical photos, photographs of India, Sumatra and Borneo (1945-46), etc., sizes varied from approximately 33 x 29 cm to 13.5 x 14 cm, arranged by subject in 14 folders, ring binders and packets, various sizes An important archive belonging to a technical expert whose work on aerial photography greatly helped to improve the accuracy of wartime bombing. Lees was involved in at least two important developments which helped to improve accuracy by proving or disproving whether bombers had actually been over the target as claimed. These included the two-shutter (master/slave) camera which helps eliminate the frequent ruining of images caused by ground fires and a single prolonged exposure. Another of his developments was H2S photography that enabled the RAF to bomb a target even when cloud was obscuring it; the photographic developments in which Lees was involved enabled the cathode ray tube image of the target to be recorded at the moment a bomb was released. Lees's work on H2S was so secret that he had to process the results himself, rather than allow them to be released to the station photo sections. He also designed a combined target marker and photo flash device for Mosquito bombers, which helped to improve the effectiveness of the Light Night Striking Force. Key German cities were thereafter regularly photographed at night from heights above 27,000 feet. At the end of the war in Europe Lees was posted to Burma but finding that the unit had been disbanded and that there was no one to feed or pay him he went to Bangkok and then was eventually posted to Jakarta. He was mentioned in dispatches twice and his final appointment before demobilisation in 1946 was at HQ Allied Command South-East Asia, where he was involved in the aerial survey of the region. After the war he returned to Charles Twite & Co, of Wigston, Leicester. He had begun work for this manufacturers' agents in the shoe trade as an office boy at age 16, and after returning became managing director and chairman. He worked almost until his death at the age of 97. Provenance: From the Lees family by direct descent. (a carton)
