The Dam Busters
Description
The Dam Busters by Paul Brickhill. Illustrated edition.'The Inspiring story of the RAF;s most famous Bomber Squadron, 17th May 1943. Over300 million tons of water crashed into the valley of the Ruhr - the most audacious bombing attack of the war had breached the giant Moehne and Eder Dams. Created specially for this great raid, with hand -picked crew and equipped with colossal 'blockbuster' bombs, 617 Squadron was used again and again on targets that demanded pin-point accuracy and high courage. . . They knocked out Hitler's last and most terrifying secret weapon- the V3s. They destroyed the battleship Tirpitz. They won two Victoria Crosses and over 150 other decorations.' The book has medium general wear with a slight slant and light creasing but the black and white plates appear to be all present and the book remains most readable.
