Perfectly decent and worth a look either to flesh out more serious accounts or to give a lighter, more personal view of things. Arthur's done well to find a few unusual storytellers here, such as the German civilians and the reconnaissance pilot as well as the various non-flying personnel so critical to the mission. ( ) A great book that weaves together the recollections of many of those involved in the Dambusters' raid. There's no attempt to editorialise, or to smooth over differences in recollections, and the book is better for that. It probably ought not be the only book you read on the raid, but it's certainly a fascinating account.

It probably ought not be the only book you read on the raid, but it's certainly a fascinating account. An in depth account of the training and raid on the dams by the pilots, ground crew and staff that took part in them. The first hand account are terrific, but it does sometimes highlight the different perceptions people have of the same event. Several of the piolts and crew have different recollections of what happened at times, which shows how history can sometimes provide more than one version of the same evemt inga recensioner | lägg till en recension
On the night of 16-17 May 1943, nineteen Lancaster bombers from 617 Squadron headed for Germany. Their mission, for which they had been trained under a cloak of absolute secrecy, was to destroy the dams of the Ruhr Valley and in doing so cripple the Nazi industrial war effort. It was to become one of the most famous raids of WWII.For the first time, acclaimed oral historian Max Arthur has gathered together the voices of the 'Dambusters', including Guy Gibson, commander of the mission and Barnes Wallis, who developed the iconic Bouncing Bomb. These voices tell of the hard training and sheer bravery that went into this legendary mission. We also hear from the German civilians who suffered the attack, who speak of the devastation that was wrought in their lives. This was a raid like no other, and in this extraordinary collection Max Arthur has created an enduring record of a unique event in British military history.
