The Dam Busters – book by John Sweetman in conjunction with Channel Four
A hard-backed book produced in conjunction with the Channel Four documentary series, looking at the history of the Dam Busters and how a modern RAF crew cope with a re-enactment of the mission.
An interesting angle on the often-told story of the raid, a detailed history of the planning involved and the development of the bouncing bomb is interspersed with the training, preparation and experiences of the eight 21st Century RAF candidates as they get to grips with the Lancaster, the weapon and the long flight across enemy territory.
Fully illustrated throughout with black and white photos from the raid, colour maps and colour photographs from the RAF crew’s experiences in the simulator and flying the Lancaster in Canada.
190+ pages.
LIMITED STOCK REMAINING.
