SHAEF: Combined Intelligence Objectives Sub-Committee: Horten Tailless Aircraft. [A report compiled from captured documents and from an informant]. ; London: H.M. Stationery Office [for SHAEF], [1945]., Large 8vo (10" x 7.5"). 30 pp of printed typewriter-face text including figures, plans and photographs of tailless aircraft ("flying wings") under development by the Horten brothers, Major Walter Horten and Oberleutenant Riemar Horten of the Luftwaffe, aircraft designers. Following the Normandy landings in 1944, combined American and British intelligence units working under SHAEF (Supreme Headquarters Allied European Forces) produced an on-going and wide-ranging series of detailed surveys and reports on captured German industry and armament production as allied troops advanced across Europe. Printed in small numbers for a restricted circulation, these military intelligence reports, containing a wealth of material unpublished elsewhere.
