Description:Harold a Pathfinder and survivor of 78 operational flights wrote this book from his own experiences. Pathfinder Force was the elite group of R.A.F. Bomber Command in the offensive against Nazi Germany in World War II. Formed in August 1942 under the command of Australian-born Air Commodore D.C.T. Bennett, D.S.O., it transformed the bombing offensive from an ineffective campaign, too expensive in planes and men, into a terrifying weapon which was largely, if not principally, responsible for the ultimate defeat of Nazi Germany.The Pathfinder crews led the great bomber streams which destroyed the industrial towns and cities upon which the German forces depended to continue fighting. They located the distant targets against fearsome opposition from fighter planes and flak. They found and marked the aiming points for the force bombers.Chiefly volunteers from other squadrons, with reputations of efficiency and courage, the Pathfinders were dedicated young men who were prepared to fly longer tours of operations in spite of the knowledge that the odds for survival were slim indeed. The casualty rate of Pathfinders was amongst the highest of any branch of the services.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
