Product Description

Delve into the remarkable story of the legendary bouncing-bomb attack on Nazi Germany's dams.

In 17 May 1943, the German village close to the Mohne Dam, heard the air-raid warnings that were widely regarded as a precautionary measure.

However, an immense tidal wave was roaring down the valley towards them & Guy Gibson, who led 'X' Squadron of 19 adapted Lancasters equipped with Barnes Wallis's 'bouncing bomb'.

A small number of those involved would survive crashed aircraft & live out the war in POW camps.

Going down as perhaps the most famous air strikes in history, the Dam Busters raids are a story of courage & determination
- 40% of whom died in the mission.

Discover this compelling account telling the story of those dramatic events through the eyes of those who were there... whether or not the reality matches the legend, the incredible bravery of those in flight was as accurate as ever.
