Description

The Dam Busters by Paul Brickhill. With foreword by Marshal of the Royal Air Force The Lord Tedder, G.C.B. 'Early in 1943, 617 Squadron, was formed for one special job - to smash the Moehne and Eder Dams. That epic affair made the R.A.F.'S newest squadron also its finest, the 'special duties squadron.' They went on to do many more unusual and perilous tasks, won two V.C's and over 150 other decorations, and were described as the most effective unit of its size the British Forces ever had. They were, in fact unique; a chosen band of extremely skilful and fearless volunteers, using special weapons that could not be given to other units. This, their story, really starts three years before they were born, when a gentle, white-haired scientist dreamed up the ten-ton "earthquake-bomb," and the weird weapons which the squadron used against the dams.' The book has light to medium general wear with some light sun fade on the covers and spine and the inside front page has been neatly removed but the book remains tight and bright.
