Date: 2023-12-29

A dramatised 1944 story highlighting the importance of map reading in the conduct of the air war over Europe. While tacitly acknowledging secret radar and radio navigation aids, it tackles the subject of how to cope when the high-technology fails. 
The story follows a mission by the crew of a Short Stirling heavy bomber from a fictional airfield "Prangmere" to bomb the German city of Duisburg.
