Why
Pathfinders? In
1942 Tom Scotland was an RAAF pilot
on the way to Britain when his convoy had to survive attack by
submarines.
Tom arrived in a Britain on her
knees
from loss of shipping
sunk by
German
submarines and from German bombing. RAF bombers were flying from
England to destroy German manufacturing, particularly of submarines,
but
darkness, ground mists, bad weather and German defences frustrated
their
attacks. Tom and his crew were selected to become Pathfinders leading
the RAF attacks.
Voice
from the stars, a
Pathfinder's
Story is Tom's story. It is a very personal autobiography
commencing as the pilot
grew up in
depression years in Western Australia. During wartime flights he and
his
British crew experienced many near disasters including escape from
a burning over England. Share
the feelings engendered in Tom Scotland and his flyers during the
violence
and the superaction into which they are thrust. Cartoon drawings by one
of the
flyers add humour
to this rivetting account.
