RAF Special Duties

{detailed description}During the Second World war, the RAF employed Special Duties pilots and air crew on a wide range of extraordinary operations. These men were selected for their skill and experience, and entrusted with missions of great importance. Whether ferrying VIPs across occupied territory, bombing Gestapo headquarters, disrupting enemy communications, or dropping secret agents deep behind the lines, they carried out their duties with unfaltering bravery and dedication. RAF Special Duties delves into the personal annals of the RAF-the log books-and provides a window into a lesser-known side of the service. Many Special Duties operations flew out of RAF Tempsford, Britain's most secret airfield, and contributed behind the scenes in sorties of crucial importance. Others were all about publicity, using scientific methods to create 'spoof squadrons' on enemy radar, or filming bombing sorties for Allied propaganda. Colin Pateman presents these gripping stories from the perspectives of pilots and air crewmen whose skill and courage were tested beyond ordinary expectations.
