As a kid, the Dam Busters film was one of my favourites. Therefore, I am saddened to say that I had never read Guy Gibson’s memoirs. Well… I have now and it is everything I had hoped it would be when I first picked it up. An enthralling, moving story with, in places, a touch of wartime humour which is to be expected from someone so young thrown into war and the horrors it thrusts on people living in it. Now I am more aware of Guy Gibson the human and have a better understanding of who he was, before and after that one mission he is best known for. Highly recommended.

[b]Rating[/b]: 5 out of 5 stars An intriguing tale of a British raid against the German dams during the Second World War. The narrative walks you through the mission's development, planning, implementation, and outcomes. The raid's participants were brave, and what they went through was tragic. A fantastic read and worth buying.
