"...As a young man of only 26, Imperial Airways made him a Captain on the largest civil aircraft flying at the time. In 1938 he broke the world long distance record for seaplanes which stan. ds to this day and when Britain went to war against Germany it was the still young Donald Bennett who organised ferrying across the Atlantic of urgently needed American aircraft that had been purchased for the R.A.F. The 'experts' said it coul. d n o t be done in winter; Bennett proved them wrong. He was only 32 when 'Bomber' Harris made him an Air Vice-Marshal and put him in charge of the Pathfinder Force which undoubtedly turned the hit-or-miss performance of Bomber Command into one of. t h e mo st decisive factors in the defeat of the mighty and highly professional German war machine..." Concludes with Bennett's post-war career in the fields of aviation, politcs, etc. Very light small bookstore stamp at bottom of title-page, fi. ve ti ny fa int specs on fore-edge of textblock.
