The Bedford Triangle: U.S. Undercover Operations from England in World War II

The Bedford Triangle is a graphic portrayal of the crucial part played by aircraft and personnel of the US Army Air Force (USAAF) in American Office of Strategic Services (OSS) and British Special Operations Executive (SOE) operations behind enemy lines in occupied Europe during World War 2.Martin Bowman draws on dozens of revealing first-hand accounts of covert operations, together with official documentary evidence, to provide tantalizing glimpses of these 'cloak-and-dagger' operations. In this new edition, he has undertaken further research to disclose startling new evidence of a British-sponsored secret flight to occupied Poland by an RAF Mosquito aircraft to collect a scientist, radioactive samples and fuel destined for the Nazi's V2 rocket programme and bring them to England. The secrets revealed had important benefits for the Manhattan Project which led eventually to the dropping of the world's first atomic bomb.
