Andy (and any other UV-experts in this group), any comments on the 
below message, from the newsgroup sci.optics? (the crux is on the 
very end of the message):

Many books have been written on IR systems, and tons of papers. Check
procedings of the SPIE.  UV is another matter.  There are only certain
limited circumstances where UV is appropriate, and much UV work has been
classified.

Note WJ:
I have seen similar notes about the mysterious link between
UV-photography and the military in the German book "Moderne
Infrarot- und UV-Fotografie" from Guenter Spitzing, where he
interviews Walter Clark (the Godfather of IR-photography at Kodak
Research Laboratories in Rochester). An English translation of this 
interview is on my homepage:

PS Guenter: you really should consider an English version of your 
next UV/IR edition....;-))
