‘I dedicate this book to the boys who have not been so lucky...’
If this book doesn’t stir the senses and inspire patriotism, nothing will, being Wing Commander Guy Gibson, VC’s own personal account of his wartime flying, including the attack on the Ruhr dams which earned him the Victoria Cross...
‘The smell of burnt cordite. The cold sweat beneath my oxygen mask. The closeness of the dam wall... We saw the tremendous earthquake which shook the base of the dam, and then, as if a gigantic hand had punched a hole through cardboard, the whole thing collapsed.’
