Default BOB era "instrument" approaches

I just finished reading the book "Gun button to fire" written by one of the surviving members of RAF 249 sqn and, knowing quite well modern RL combat aviation, I was intrigued by how they did things back then.

One of my many questions arose when I repeatedly read how they where flying in very bad weather and landing back under such crappy conditions. But the author gives no deatils about how they did it.

I am quite illiterate when it comes to WWII aviation procedures and I was wondering if someone could point me out in the good direction to learn how they did this approaches in bad weather back then, so i can reproduce myself these procedures later on.

Appreciate your help.
