Sinossi
"What sort of men were the Pathfinders, the corps d'âelite of Bomber Command? What did they do? What risks did they face? And what contribution did they make to the air war and the ultimate defeat of Germany? By drawing on hundreds of hours of interviewswith surviving veterans - many speaking for the first time - and combining these with official records and exclusive access to contemporary documents and exhibits at the Pathfinder Museum at RAF Wyton, Sean Feast looks to answer these questions and more,seeking to put these men's achievements in the context of the time. The Pathfinder Companion, launched to coincide with the 70th anniversary of the foundation of Pathfinder Force in 1942, highlights the raids and the losses, the successes and failures, the terror and the turmoil these men endured, as well as the inevitable humor in the face of tremendous adversity. Profusely illustrated throughout with photos and memorabilia, the book shows how a poorly equipped, disparate group was forged over time intoone of the most effective and devastatingly efficient fighting forces ever created. It includes stories and reminiscences not just from the Master Bombers and Long Stops - the elite of the elite controlling huge numbers of bombers over the target - but also the journeymen Pathfinder crews whose support was so essential to success and final victory."--Www.amazon.com.

Recensione
Well illustrated with rarely seen photographs, this is a great read for anyone interested in Bomber Command. --Flypast
Must for anyone interested in Bomber Command. --Britain at War magazine
This is a magnificent book which crams a vast amount of information into its relatively small number of pages. --Cross & Cockade International
As a 'companion' the book lives up to its title and, as such, it draws many things together, rather than attempting to expose startling new facts. That said, I do recommend The Pathfinder Companion and it will certainly find a place on my bookshelf. --Wg Cdr Colin Cummings - Royal Air Force Historical Society Journal
This superb researched and produced book comes from the well-respected aviation historian Sean Feast. It is superbly illustrated. --RAF News
