The crucial part played by pigeons during World War II is well known to pigeon fanciers, but for those who know little about these resilient and resourceful birds the extent of their contribution to the war effort will be nothing short of a revelation. Bill Button's insightful and unusual memoir of his adventures across two continents shows just how vital the birds were to the efficient and secret relaying of information.
