THE PATHFINDERS - WILL IREDALE TASCHENBUCH

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 WeekThe 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.
