This is a graphic portrayal of the crucial part played by aircraft and personnel of the US Army Air Force (USAAF), American Office of Strategic Services (OSS) and British Special Operations Executive (SOE) operations behind enemy lines in occupied Europe during World War II. These covert operations were centred on airfields and safe houses in and around the English town of Bedford, and involved the movement of materials and resistance personnel, undercover and in secrecy. Martin Bowman draws upon dozens of revealing first-hand accounts, together with offical documentary evidence, to provide glimpses of these cloak and dagger operations.
Martin Bowman is a professional historian specialising in the history of the USAAF. He has written many books on the subject, including the USAAF Handbook.
