Abstract
From 1941 to 1944 MI5 faced determined attempts to penetrate Allied Air Forces using trained pilot agents recruited by German Military Intelligence (Abwehr). The mission of these pilot agents was to gather military intelligence and to return to German held territory. This pattern of targeting Allied Air Forces has not been recognised by historians. This article examines MI5’s responses to the threat using recently released files in the National Archives.
