Master bombers

About this book

The Pathfinders were the elite corps of Bomber Command, the command that had been leading the fight back against Germany even before the fall of France in 1940. Formed in July 1942, the Pathfinder force was tasked with marking targets and leading bomber formations to the right place at the right time in order to cause maximum devastation to the enemy. This book is a comprehensive and detailed exploration of the exploits of one such typical squadron, Number 582, involved in Pathfinder operations throughout World War II.
