THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER! Military History Matters Book of the
Year Bronze Award Winner 'Compelling... sensitive, colourful and
moving' -- Saul David, Telegraph 'Fascinating and utterly gripping'
-- James Holland 'Absorbing' -- Daily Mail Book of the Week The
incredible story of the crack team of men and women who transformed
RAF Bomber Command and helped the Allies deliver decisive victory
over Nazi Germany. The Pathfinders were ordinary men and women from
a range of nations who revolutionised the efficiency of the Allies'
air campaign over mainland Europe. They elevated Bomber Command -
initially the only part of the Allied war effort capable of
attacking the heart of Nazi Germany - from an impotent force on the
cusp of disintegration in 1942 to one capable of razing whole
German cities to the ground in a single night, striking with
devastating accuracy, inspiring fear and loathing in Hitler's
senior command. With exclusive interviews with remaining survivors,
personal diaries, previously classified records and never-before
seen photographs, The Pathfinders brings to life the characters of
the airmen and women - many barely out of their teens - who took to
the skies in legendary British aircraft such as the Lancaster and
the Mosquito, facing almost unimaginable levels of violence from
enemy fighter planes to strike at the heart of the Nazi war
machine.
