Description
The Complete Dambusters: 133 Men Who Flew on the Dams Raid By Charles Foster, published by History Press in 2018. On 16 May 1943, nineteen Lancaster aircraft from the RAF's 617 Squadron set off to attack the great dams in Germany. This one-off operation combined an audacious method of attack, technically brilliant flying and visually spectacular results. The story of Operation Chastise is well known, but the individual stories of those who took part have until now been largely overlooked. This book presents the first comprehensive account of the 133 'Dambusters' who flew on the Dams Raid. Their stories are a testament to their skill, heroism and sacrifice. From all parts of the UK and the Commonwealth, these men were someone's son or brother, husband or father - ordinary people who became extraordinary heroes in one of the most remarkable operations of World War II. With detailed research and engaging storytelling, Charles Foster brings to life the experiences of these brave men, shedding new light on a pivotal moment in history.
