Description
We Landed by Moonlight - Secret RAF Landings in France 1940-1944 The RAF's clandestine operations in Occupied France during World War II were a remarkable chapter in the war's history. Under the cover of darkness, small aircraft would land and take off, carrying agents and supplies to support the French Resistance and SOE. This chronicle of these operations is a gripping story of danger, secrecy, and bravery. Hugh Verity, who flew many of these missions, recounts the experiences with meticulous historical precision. The book sheds light on the crucial role these operations played in shaping the modern history of France and Britain.
