DAM BUSTERS. 70th COMMEMORATION EDITION.
Interesting insight into a remarkable raid. A well written document. Well worth reading. I would recommend it to all people interested in the exploits of our bomber command stalwarts of the second world war.
*. JAMIE TAYLOR. BOOK REVIEWER.
For those wanting to know about the story behind the Dam Busters, then this book is ideal. It is very informative with plenty of pictures. *.

In this 70th Commemoration Edition of the 'Dam Buster Raid.' We pay a tribute to RAF No. 617 Squadron. The brave men, who breached Germany's industrial dams in the Ruhr Valley in May 1943. It became the most famous air operation in WW2. Code named: 'Operation Chastise,' a secret squad of Lancasters attacked the Mohne, Eder and Sorpe dams with Dr Wallis-Barnes' 'bouncing bombs.' The Dam Buster mission included aircrews from the Royal Australian Air Force, Royal New Zealand Air Force and Royal Canadian Air Force .

In 1943 Sir Winston Churchill was under pressure to persuade Josef Stalin and Franklin D Roosevelt that Britain was an effective ally in WW2. The objective of Operation Chastise was two fold: Firstly to flood the Ruhr Valley. This would disrupt major armament production and affect water and electricity supplies in the heart land of Germany. Secondly: to aid the Soviet Union by keeping the Luftwaffe and anti-aircraft forces away from Russia. This military strategy culminated in the winter of 1943, with the RAF raids on Berlin.

In 1955 the 'Dam Busters' film, burst across cinema screens around the world, to national acclaim. The daring exploits of Guy Gibson and Squadron 617, were forever immortalised as 'The Dam Busters.' But the success of Operation Chastise, which gave a major boost to the British war effort, would always be marred by the loss of 1,650 German civilians. This short ebook is written in an easy to read, informative style. Packed with maps, photographs and leading personalities of the day. Ideal for readers with a general interest in WW2 and a quick read on the go!
