Moonlight Crusaders By Paul Smiddy
This book tells the story of the RAF's Special Duties squadrons, specifically 161 Squadron, which flew secret night time missions during World War II. Created to support Winston Churchill’s Special Operations Executive (SOE), these brave pilots flew unarmed Lysander aircraft into occupied Europe. Navigating only by moonlight, they faced extreme weather, German night-fighters, and anti-aircraft fire to transport spies, leaders, and secret documents. Written by RAF trained pilot Paul Smiddy, the book uses first-hand accounts to explore how these overlooked pilots overcame limited resources and political hurdles to help the Allies win the war.
