This Second World War badge for the Royal Air Force's Pathfinder Force, authorised in November 1942. This highly skilled specialist unit, formed on 15 August 1942 (under Group Captain, later Air Vice-Marshal, D C T Bennett), developed techniques of target location and marking by night. The badge was worn 5mm below the tip of the left tunic pocket flap. It was removed when on operational flying duties to avoid the role of captured personnel being recognised and thus exposing them to interrogation about their methods and the top secret radar they used.
