A comprehensive account of the most audacious bombing raid of the
Second World War. Operation Chastise - the Dambusters Raid, as it
became known - undertaken by 19 Lancasters of 617 Squadron on the
night of 16 May 1943, was the most audacious bombing raid of the
Second World War. For the loss of 11 aircraft, the Mohne and Eder
dams in Germany's industrial heartland were breached, and a famous
if controversial victory won. John Sweetman's book is the most
comprehensive account of this legendary mission, from the
development of Barnes Wallis' 'bouncing bomb' (in reality a
revolving depth-charge) to every moment of the raid itself, under
the charismatic command of Guy Gibson, VC. It recalls a time of
commitment, perseverance and sheer dogged determination in the face
of dangerous and improbable odds.
