We Landed by Moonlight

For most of the Second World War, the RAF flew small aircraft into Occupied France at night, landing and taking off in total secrecy. Their mission was to transport agents to and from France to support the activities of the French Resistance and SOE. The chronicle of these operations tells an extraordinary adventure story, full of danger for both agent and aviator. Hugh Verity flew many of the missions recounted in 'We Landed by Moonlight' and was probably the most outstanding pick-up pilot of them all.
