British commandos were very active on Greece territory occupied by Germans.
Gorgopotamos, general Kreipe ...
I'm interested in what way were the commandos delivered to Greece?
What aircrafts were used?
WHAT WAS THEIR ROUTE?AIRFIELDS?
What squadrons were ensuring their flights?
How great were their losts?
So,where I can get the information I'm interesting in?
Are there any publications on this theme?
I also want to know more about squadrons who took part in ''Manna'' operation 1944

My recommendation is to go out and get Antony Beevor's "Crete: The Battle and Resistance" which has a lot of information on SOE's operations there.
