They were ordinary men, mostly volunteers from many nations, who revolutionised the efficiency and accuracy of the Allied air campaign over Europe.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn this book, acclaimed historian Chaz Bowyer focuses on the aircrews of No. 8 Group — among the most experienced within the PFF. Using interviews, firsthand accounts, and war records, he brings the daily experiences of these extraordinarily brave men vividly to life. Flying in now-iconic British aircraft such as the Lancaster, Mosquito, and Halifax, and equipped with the latest navigational aids — GEE, H2S, and OBOE — they took to the skies night after night, fully aware that the odds were stacked against their ever achieving the stipulated 60 sorties.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePath Finders at War  is a powerful record of No. 8 Group’s individual and collective sacrifice, which helped turn the tide of the war.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ANT","offers":[{"title":"Ebook","offer_id":52841671098584,"sku":"YSL74532","price":5.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0835\/3356\/2072\/files\/71Yk_wWob8L._SY1500.jpg?v=1793338387","url":"https:\/\/www.bookmebay.com\/products\/b0hh95fnp7","provider":"BookMebay","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
