Charged with the formidable task of locating and marking German targets for attack by the main force of Bomber Command, the Path Finder Force - 8 (PFF) Group and those in 5 Group - was perhaps the most experienced and highly trained elite group created within the Royal Air Force during World War II. Its aircrew members were almost entirely volunteers and despite the terrifying odds against any individual (or complete crew) ever completing the 60-sorties tour of operations with the PFF, the most feared 'punishment' was to forfeit their coveted Path Finder wings and be posted away to other units. This evocation of a remarkable force is made up largely of narrative and photographs from the men who flew with or were an integral part of the PFF.
