Holland 'Absorbing' -- Daily Mail Book of the WeekThe incredible story of the crack team of men
and women who transformed RAF Bomber Command and helped the Allies deliver decisive victory

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.
