Description:The wartime exploits and experiences of an RAF bomber pathfinder squadron are recounted in this WWII history--"A stunning war book" (Oxford Times, UK).Formed in July 1942, the Pathfinder Force was the corps d'�lite of the Royal Air Force's Bomber Command. The Squadrons of the PFF were tasked with marking targets and leading bomber formations to the right place at the right time. And the best of the force formed the crews of the master bombers, the aircraft in charge of the whole attack. It took nerves of steel for the crew to linger high over the target area, often for hours, in constant fear of attack from fighters or flak.In Master Bombers, aviation historian Sean Feast shares the wartime stories of the men and women of No. 582 Squadron. This bomber pathfinder squadron was formed in April of 1944 and began operations with a night raid on Occupied France a week later. The aircrew and supporting staff of No. 582 distinguished themselves in numerous operations, with one pilot, Ted Swales, winning a posthumous Victoria Cross over Pforzheim.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
