The work of the RAF's 100 Group remains one of the least known aspects
of the 1939-45 war. Even less has been written about the specifics of
day-to-day electronic warfare operations and the countermeasures
employed. This book, the result of many years meticulous research by
Squadron Leader Richard Forder RAF (Ret'd) redresses the balance by
focussing on one the heavy units, 223, and its sister units at RAF
Oulton, Norfolk.
Equipped with former USAAF Liberators, they operated from August 1944 to
the end of the European war, with a primary role of protecting Bomber
Command Main Force ops by radio and radar countermeasures against German
defenses. By analyzing original documents and recording first hand
accounts from both sides of the conflict, including those of Main Force
personnel, Forder and Bond present a complete, detailed and valuable
picture of the secret and vital activities of the special operatives,
and their effect on German defenses.
