The Special Operations Executive developed a vast network of agents
across Occupied Europe which played a vital role in developing and
sustaining Resistance movements that persistently sought to subvert
German control of their territories. The culmination of their
efforts was seen when the Allied armies landed at Normandy in June
1944, with the SOE and the Resistance causing widespread
destruction and disruption behind the German lines. None of this
would have been possible had it not been for the Royal Air Force.
Not only did the RAF supply the SOE, and the movements it led and
co-ordinated, with the thousands of tons of arms and equipment
needed to undertake this role, it also delivered and retrieved
agents from under the very noses of the enemy. Compiled at the end
of the war by the Air Historical Branch of the RAF, this is an
extremely detailed and comprehensive account of the RAFs support
for the SOE, and in it we learn of the enormous and complex
arrangements undertaken by the Special Duties squadrons as well as
showing how the material delivered by these aircraft was used in
the field. This account is reproduced here in its entirety, along
with a detailed appendix containing the official historical record
of Bomber Command aircrews and aircraft engaged in clandestine
operations. Taken together, this book represents the most
comprehensive account of the RAFs support for SOE ever published.
