Description
The Dambusters' Next Mission: A Personal Journey into the Secret World of 617 Squadron. RAF 617 Squadron's destruction of the dams at the heart of the Ruhr made them heroes and celebrities of their time. However, this elite squadron was also called upon for a hundred more of the most secret and dangerous specialist precision attacks. In this book, former RAF Tornado Navigator and Gulf War veteran John Nichol sets out to uncover what happened to 617 Squadron after the flood. Nichol's personal journey reveals that 617 would drop the largest bombs ever built on battleships, railway bridges, secret weapon establishments, rockets sites and U-boat construction pens. They were involved in attempts on the lives of enemy leaders, created a 'false fleet' on D-day which fooled the Germans, and knocked out a German super gun which would have rained 600 shells an hour on London.
