Overview
The scene is familiar from war films: resistance fighters improvise a flare path at night...the aircraft lands to spirit away a secret agent before the Germans can react...but the Gestapo have identified the landing strip and searchlights suddenly sweep across the field...This is the true story of the secret flights undertaken by the RAF Special Duties Squadron in support of SOE, and later by the US Army Air Force to assist the OSS in occupied Europe. Aviation historian David Oliver also reveals how the German air force undertook similar missions during the war, none more daring than its flights behind Russian lines, delivering agents and special forces teams - once even attempting to assassinate Stalin himself.
