Airborne Espionage International Special Duties Operations in the World Wars by David Oliver In 1914, the transport of spies across enemy lines by aircraft was not seen as a priority. By 1939 some nations had dedicated air units to fly agents, but Special Duties were considered less glamorous than fighter and bomber operations. The Second World War saw the rapid growth of Allied and enemy infrastructures to support these operations. Operating in all weathers, often at night, at low level and usually without fighter escort, the squadrons lost many airmen. The exploits of British and Commonwealth, US, Free European, Soviet, German, Italian and Japanese airmen and units are recorded in this compelling account.

In 1955 the raid was immortalised on film by director Michael Anderson in The Dam Busters, starring Michael Redgrave and Richard Todd. It became Britains top grossing film of 1955 and in the half-century that has followed, thanks to its almost annual airing on the small screen, it has become a film classic. It is also a firm favourite with aviation enthusiasts due in no small measure to the breathtaking flying sequences featuring the Avro Lancaster.
