Format:Paperback
He says: a journey back into the past with excellent photos & ideal commentary to match. It describes ordinary men who became extraordinary airmen for the sake of our country. An episode in our history which must never be forgotten. This book is a great salute. I am recommending it to my friends. I shall be reading it again & again.

The Dam Busters 9 Jan 2011
By John Gale - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
Jonathan Falconer's account is textually concise and straighforward but its great strengths are (a) being fully up-to-date with the now available facts and (b) generously providing technical details, key biographies, and especially vivid photographs and maps from both British and German sources. This combination makes you feel you are there with the team. A recommended read which includes illustrated references to the famous film with Richard Todd and Michael Redgrave.

Dam Busters 3 July 2010
By Keith - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
Saw this book during a visit to Fred Sutherland's house (he was the front gunner of AJ-N on the Dambusters raid) in Alberta, Canada and decided if it was good enough for one of the Dambusters it must be good. I was very pleased with this book as it gave tons of information about the background and the actual raid. I would recommend it to anyone interested in knowing more about this extremely famous mission.
