It was called FIDO, a remarkable invention, created in Britain, that saved the lives of thousands of Allied air crew during World War II. Many RAF bomber crews of the time returned home only to discover air fields completely fog-bound. Thus, FIDO was born, Fog Investigation and Dispersal Operation. Thousands of gallons of petrol, in burners, were installed beside the runways to burn the fog off airfields, allowing planes to land. Over 100 aerial and action photos, with air field plans and technical drawings help bring this book to life.
