“It seemed that we were the only ones fighting the war for England when you sit up there on top of a cone over a great harbour surrounded by coloured lights and smelling the flak. You feel a long way from home, you feel you want to get back, you feel you never want to go again. And when you do come back it gets you and you want to have another crack. God knows why.”
Between 1939 and 1944 Guy Gibson flew over 170 missions for the RAF. He was Squadron Leader of the famous raid to destroy German dams along the Ruhr river.
Guy's vivid account of that raid and the evolution of Bomber Command during World War II is available for the first time on Kindle.
With Peter Jackson (The Hobbit, The Lord of the Rings) set to remake the Dam Busters, there is no better time to rediscover this classic and true tale of derring-do.
