Description

Clayton Boyce, SASO of the Pathfinders. Original photograph.

Context

Boyce was Bennett's second in command and the Senior Air Staff Officer (SASO) at the PFF. He was not selected by Bennett but by Sir Arthur Harris, the head of Bomber Command, possibly because it was thought that Boyce's ultra-solid background in the RAF would be a counterbalance to Bennett's maverick brilliance.
