Description:
This
book is a record of the work made by Bomber Command from
the early days to the great raids which devastated Germany.
There are many books on the Royal Air Force but this one
gives a vivid portrayal of the Bomber Crews both on and
off duty and describes the air operations from one who
played a leading part in the air offensive against Germany.
Wing-Commander Guy Gibson will go down in history as one
of the leaders and Pilots of one of the most daring raids
of WWII, the breaching of the Eder and Moehne dams which
brought havoc to Germany’s industrial war machine.
The full story of this amazing feat is told with modesty
and tells of the research and preparation which made the
whole raid possible. It is without doubt one of the most
thrilling stories ever written.
