The story of Bomber Command's elite squadrons. Twenty five minutes was what it took to run the gauntlet of the Berlin air defences from end to end at full stretch. The flak barrage put up from the ground was merciless and, if your plane was caught in the searchlights, you had little chance of survival. The Luftwaffe night fighters were waiting for you on the way home as well. This new history of the RAF Pathfinder Squadrons outlines the increasingly successful role they played in bringing accuracy and effectiveness into the air war waged by Bomber Command during 1942-1945.

The balloon emerged as a weapon of war prior to the Napoleonic era. It was used in the American Civil War and extensively in World War I, but It was during the Second World War that the balloon saw more new and imaginative uses. Barrage balloons have helped to prevent incursions by enemy aircraft, they have been used for spying and atmospheric sampling (for nuclear test residue) in the Cold War, and are used to this day as camera platforms and for advertising.
