"I unreservedly recommend this work to any reader with not only a general interest in military affairs but also those with a more in depth interest in strategy, doctrine, tactics and equipment provision."

This book is far more than a bomber pilot's biography and provides a fascinating insight into Bomber Command. There is much here that was new to me including the bombing of other dams later in the war and even the discussions had as to whether to attempt the bombing of Auschwitz. A truly fascinating read that I read in just a few sittings and one that I most definitely would recommend to all.

I only started the book 24 hours ago knowing nothing of Jean's story. It really was difficult to put down. Packed with many fabulous photographs from the family's collection, this book has been a most enjoyable read. Jean clearly was an incredible and very determined man. I definitely recommend this book to all. Read the full review [link=https://historybookchat.blogspot.com/2025/02/the-belgian-raf-pilot-who-defied-gestapo.html]here[/link]
