Well from what I have surmised this afternoon...
There are two detailed chapters in this book. One is called, Effects of Aerial Photography on Mapping and Camoflage. The other is called, An Old Mission Expands: Mapping and Engineer Strategic Intelligence.
Starts with pre-WWII and how things were handled and goes into great detail about how they joined forces with the Airforce, etc. Tells about the initial engineer units and how they gathered info and formed new practices for use during WWII. I only skimmed over the two chapters, but it looks like something you might want to add to your collection. I would copy the pages, but they number quite a few.
Alibris has copies right now that start out at $19.95. Here's the link:
