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.
This book includes a large number of photographs of the raid's immediate aftermath, followed by the clearing up operations. A very interesting book.
