More about the book

Focusing on the air war in Cambridgeshire, this meticulously researched book highlights the courageous young airmen who undertook perilous missions against overwhelming odds. It details the operations of the Pathfinder Force, which played a crucial role in marking targets for bombers. The narrative underscores the heavy toll on Bomber Command, with over 55,000 airmen lost and many others wounded or captured, while emphasizing the lack of Campaign medals despite numerous acts of valor, including twenty-one Victoria Crosses awarded. The legacy of these 'Bomber Men' is a testament to their bravery and sacrifice.
