THE DAM BUSTERS - Paul Brickhill

Published by Evans Brothers, 1952

Hardcover without dustjacket. The boards have some rubbing and shelfwear and the book is very slightly slanted but still well-bound. Spine darkened. A good reading copy.

On 17 May 1943, nearly 350 million tons of water crashed into the valleys of the Ruhr when the Lancaster bombers of 617 Squadron breached the giant Moehne and Eder Dams with colossal blockbuster bombs. The Dam Busters tells the story of the raid and the squadron of fearless airmen who carried it through. Again and again, the crews of 617 Squadron Bomber Command used their flying skills, their tremendous courage and Barnes Wallis highly accurate bouncing bombs to deal devastating blows to Nazi Germany.

One of the most daring true stories to emerge from the Second World War.
