05:22Cloud doesn't worry us anymore, but we go and look and bring back the murky tidings for the Met boys
05:27to put on their charts.
05:29It's all part of the Pathfinder service.
05:38Pathfinder crews are picked and honored men.
05:40They fly ahead with a bomber stream to mark the target with colored flares on which the main force can
05:45drop their bombs.

13:38I'm not under that lot.
13:39That's the skipper signalling now.
13:42N-I-G-G-E-R.
13:46Mega.
13:47From the Myrna, the remaining aircraft fly on to the Ada Dam and breach that tube.
13:54Then silence and the long wait till they return.
13:59I'd say...
13:59I'm out of control.
14:00I would say that.
14:03I'm in the same place to land, Queenie Fox Easy, 1014.
14:11I'm in the same place to land, Queenie Fox Easy, 1014.

14:33Of 19 Lancasters, only 11 come home
14:38Eight aircraft and 54 men will not return
14:43But their work has been done
14:47Chapter 8
15:12First, from the last sorties, Sir
15:14Thank you, what do they like?
15:16Thank you very much. That's fine.
15:21This looks pretty good.
15:22The Myrna Lake, empty.
15:25Its water spread across the fields, the towns, the factories of the Ruhr.
15:29And in England, the king decorates the surviving crews.
15:34For Gibson, a VC, the attack has been successful.
15:38Flood has been added to fire.
15:53The United States Eighth Air Force has been operating from Britain for a whole year.
15:57It's now taking part in a new strategic plan known as Operation Point Blank.
16:02Our objective under this plan is to knock out the German fighter system,
16:05which has been built up to obstruct our raids on Europe.
16:09We're to destroy these enemy fighters in their factories, on their airfields, and in the air.
16:13We fly by day to keep up the pattern of round-the-clock bombing.
16:17As the night sorties of the RAF come home, we go out.

18:56siren sounds all the more harsh after a sleepless night in the shelters. In spite of these constant
19:02interruptions, we are working harder than ever before. By the end of this year, 1943,
19:08we are building more weapons of all kinds than we were at the beginning. But how much
19:13longer must we go on like this?
19:29How much longer is what we'd like to know, too? It's not so hot sticking your neck out day after
19:35day, month after month, on the same routine.
19:40Check your guns, watch the sky, and wait. Wait for your turn to come. Maybe you'll get to your target.
19:47Maybe you'll drop your bombs and get home. Maybe you won't.
19:57You won't.
20:26.
20:27nueva
20:27.
20:55S.
21:27Let's go.
21:57Let's go.
22:26Let's go.
22:34After the bombing attacks, the fighters tug.
22:38Homebound escorts use up their ammunition on ground targets along the route.
22:44Here is air supremacy in the making.
22:48Let's go.
22:49Let's go.
22:59Let's go.

25:13What punch on the sky goes on around the clock.
25:17Hello there.
25:18What's on tonight?
25:20Oh hello.
25:20About same as usual.
25:21Most of the day boys have come in now, which have got these stragglers out here, and the
25:26Fenderly's going north on patrol up there.
25:29The usual big force will be going out tonight, they'll be building up later, over at Yarmouth
25:34here.
25:34It's all in the log anyway, but-
25:36What do you.
25:36OK?
25:37OK, Anne.
25:39There's some beans tonight.
25:40Oh no!
25:42as the struggle grows grimmer it also becomes more complex and its range increases in the winter the
25:49battle of Berlin opens Berlin at last it's a long haul across enemy territory and even at
25:57night our bombers need protection now the AOC 100 group is here to tell us in the main force
26:02what protection they're going to give us while we're attacking Berlin do carry on please sir
26:08first we're putting up a jamming stream along the whole of this coast assisting of sterling
26:14and Halifaxes to hide your approach across the North Sea a similar diversionary force will
26:23accompany you in the main stream and when you get to this point here and you turn off to Berlin
26:29the diversionary force will continue straight on to Leipzig each station gets an individual briefing
26:37this show goes on every night on a hundred platforms all over the country
27:03bomber command is British but its squadrons are international some of us who fly against Germany
27:11come from France from Poland from Czechoslovakia we carry many memories along with our bomb loads but
27:20when we have been hurt and are fighting for our lives the battle is the only reality
27:26is it
27:44so
