The Dambuster Raid is one of the most iconic bombing raids that took place during WW2. A hand picked, international team of specialist low fliers were assembled to execute a daring low level raid which would strike at the heart of Germany's industrial regions.
Pen and Sword have a selection of titles which deal with all aspects of the operation.
A beautiful volume of aeronautical history that, once again, makes us appreciate the quality of British publishing in this specific sector.

A listing of aircraft involved, their pilots and fate, plus a comprehensive index, add to the book's usefulness and the author has included a fine section on memorials to the lost crews, anniversary commemorations and other artefacts.
