Arthur Harris charged an Australian flying ace, Don Bennett, with the task of creating an elite group who could fly ahead of the main aircraft to lay flares and beams. This group, called the Pathfinders, was composed of members of British and Commonwealth air forces acting together. This book assesses the value of the Pathfinders in the wartime air strategy, and also contains stories of exciting air action, innovative flying, charismatic characters and behind-the scenes controversies.","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45535790989531,"sku":"9781854092588-SECONDHAND","price":20.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/ScreenShot2024-05-14at11.22.07am.png?v=1715649736","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/9781854092588-secondhand-bennett-and-the-pathfinders","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
