[b]Rating[/b]: 5 out of 5 stars I grew up watching The Dambusters and hearing about Guy Gibson. However this book reveals more insights about his life and the manner of his death. The book has been well researched and for me raised more questions about the man than answers- it's a very interesting read.

The book is well illustrated throughout, with plenty of pictures with loads of detail of the real thing, covering a long career, and equally a series of high quality photos of the 3 featured model builds. Bearing in mind the great story of the B-52 over so many years, I think Ben, along with publishers Pen & Sword, have done a first class job of fitting it all into the confines of the format for this FlightCraft series. For me, it makes a really good addition to this mini-series of the famous Boeing bombers (B-17, B-29 and now B-52). Fans of the BUFF, and modellers in particular, will like this I think.

"It is one of the very few accounts to have been written by one of ‘the many’ without whom ‘The Few’ could not have succeeded. The author joined up in late 1941 and was trained as an armourer, initially serving at a gunnery school. However, shortly before D-Day he joined a ‘Free French’ Spitfire squadron with which he served until the end of the war. The second half of this highly readable account is in effect a detailed history of the Free French Spitfire Wing during the last year of the war. That in itself is hugely welcome, but even more so is the description of the itinerant life of a 2nd Tactical Air Force fighter unit in the months after D-Day and the often-miserable conditions endured by the hardworking and ever faithful groundcrew. No less valuable is the earlier description of life for a working-class family in London during the inter-war years. A peach of a book that was unputdownable."

" A rare autobiographical account for these times, and a valuable addition to the Bomber Command canon."
