RAF Transport Command's 46 Group, formed in January 1944, played a pivotal role in the Allies' victory during the final months of World War II. Operating from three airfields—RAF Broadwell, RAF Blakehill Farm, and RAF Down Ampney—its six squadrons flew the Douglas C-47 Dakotas, providing vital support to airborne forces, paratroopers, and gliders. They conducted air drops, resupplied front-line troops, and facilitated casualty evacuation. From D-Day on 6 June 1944, the Dakotas flew crucial missions over France, transporting goods and personnel while returning with wounded troops and captured enemy material. The 'Flying Nightingales', WAAF nurses aboard these flights, administered first aid on their return journeys, though one nurse, LACW Margaret Campbell, was killed in a crash in October 1944. During Operation Market Garden in September 1944, Dakotas supported the airborne forces with daily resupply flights. Flight Lieutenant David Lord of 271 Squadron posthumously received the Victoria Cross for his bravery in delivering supplies under heavy flak. In March 1945, Dakotas played a key role in Operation Varsity, the final airborne assault of the war. This book examines the significant contribution of 46 Group’s Dakotas and crews, highlighting their crucial part in the defeat of Nazi Germany.
