On 16 May 1943, nineteen Lancaster aircraft from the RAF's 617
Squadron set off to attack the great dams in the industrial heart
of Germany. Flying at a height of 60ft, they dropped a series of
bombs which bounced across the water and destroyed two of their
targets, thereby creating a legend. The one-off operation combined
an audacious method of attack, technically brilliant flying and
visually spectacular results. But while the story of Operation
Chastise is well known, most of the 133 'Dambusters' who took part
in the Dams Raid have until now been just names on a list. They
came from all parts of the UK and the Commonwealth and beyond, and
each of them was someone's son or brother, someone's husband or
father. This is the first book to present their individual stories
and celebrate their skill, heroism and, for many, sacrifice.
