Description
The Death of Guy Gibson Who, Or What, Killed the Dambuster VC by M. S. Morgan In September 1944, Wing Commander Guy Penrose Gibson led a daring raid on German towns, cementing his reputation as one of the most famous Allied aviators of the Second World War. Just months earlier, he had been hailed for his leadership of Operation Chastise, the Dambusters Raid. Gibson's involvement in the attack on Mönchengladbach and Rheydt was a departure from his expected role, following his goodwill lecture tour of the United States. The raid itself was a success, with Gibson's instructions over the target being heard clearly by his crew. However, during the return leg, tragedy struck. The investigation into Gibson's death has been shrouded in mystery for many years, and it is only now that the truth can be revealed. This book provides a detailed account of Gibson's life and death, shedding new light on one of the most infamous incidents of World War II.
