On the ground the airborne logisticians at the battle of Arnhem fought to the bitter end, indistinguishable from their paratroop comrades.
In the air, their deeds and sacrifice were shining examples of duty done under the most desperate circumstances.
Witness the account of Flight Lieutenant H J King, navigator of Dakota KG 374 of 271 squadron RAF, Down Ampney: These men were not volunteers like aircrew.
They received no flyingpay, yet were, without doubt, superb in their fulfillment of duty eve.
