PATHFINDER AIRCREW: Courage, Love and Loss in Bomber Command’s Elite Force
This detailed and sympathetic account, based on 25 years’ research, vividly describes what sort of people the Pathfinders were, what sustained them during their highly dangerous operations, and how their comrades, friends and families dealt with the all-too frequent losses.
Based almost entirely on wartime or immediate post-war documents, including many personal letters and diaries from the RAF Pathfinders Archive, it tells a very human story of members of an elite which was a byword for perseverance, technical excellence, and magnificent bravery. See: PATHFINDER AIRCREW for a preview.
