This Navigator Got the Math Wrong — And Accidentally Discovered the Enemy's Secret Base

#WWIIHistory #RAFHistory #MilitaryHistory On December 14, 1941, RAF Navigator William Gregory made a catastrophic navigation error that should have killed him and his pilot. Instead, his mistake led to the discovery of Gilze-Rijen, one of Nazi Germany's most secret airfields, and changed the course of the air war over Europe. This is the incredible true story of how a 23-year-old grocery clerk from Nottingham accidentally flew 60 miles off course into enemy territory and stumbled upon a major Luftwaffe bomber base that British Intelligence had been desperately searching for. His discovery led to 17 major bombing raids, destroyed over 4,000 German aircraft, and saved an estimated 687 British civilian lives in just three months. From the frozen cockpit of a Bristol Beaufighter to the devastating raids that followed, discover how one man's courage to admit his mistake became one of WWII's greatest intelligence breakthroughs.
