Hi Folks

BBC iPlayer - Radio 4 - The Pathfinder, (30 min ).
Remarkable life and legacy of Air Vice-Marshal Donald Bennett, CB, CBE, DSO,
founder of Bomber Command's, Path Finder Force in WWII,
and one of Britain's least celebrated civilian and wartime heroes.

Certainly.. some sites citing his achievements are lacking in detail.. one I found showing a timeline had nothing between WWII and when he died but those of us here keen on aviation will know of his leadership of BSAA after the war and as a pilot with Imperial before it :)
