AMERICAN AIRBORNE PATHFINDERS IN WORLD WAR II

Trained in the use of the Eureka radar, holophan lights and coloured ground panels, the pathfinders dropped thirty minutes before the main airborne landing to provide ground guidance for successive airborne jumps. The story of the airborne pathfinders and the vital part they played in airborne operations during World War II has rarely been told. This book tells the story of the operations and the equipment used (much of it unique to the pathfinders).
