American Airborne Pathfinders in World War II
Jeff Moran
Trained in the use of the Eureka radar, holophan lights, and
colored ground panels, the pathfinders dropped thirty minutes
before the main airborne landing to provide ground guidance
for successive airborne jumps. The concept of the airborne
pathfinders proved successful, and they were used during the
remainder of World War II. The story of the airborne pathfinders,
and the vital role they played in airborne operations during the
Second World War has rarely been told.
In this new book, Jeff Moran tells the story of the operations
they led, the equipment they used - much of it unique to the
pathfinders - and has memorialized them by noting, in many
cases, the individual teams of pathfinders.
Hardcover, 176 pages, over 150 b/w & color photos.
