An intriguing tale of a British raid against the German dams during the Second World War. The narrative walks you through the mission's development, planning, implementation, and outcomes. The raid's participants were brave, and what they went through was tragic. A fantastic read and worth buying.

A truly fantastic book covering one of Britain’s most-decorated and successful fighter pilots during world war two.
Written in a relaxed style that compels readers to not to put the book down, it delights the reader in detailing operations flying various aircraft documenting the combat experienced by the author.
It is refreshing to read about air combat operations in other aircraft of the RAF such as the Beaufighter and Mosquito than the usual Spitfire or Hurricane.
If you have an interest in air combat, aviation in general or love a good war story then this book is a must!
A compelling read, highly recommended as one of the best biographies of a World War Two fighter pilot!
This one needs to be on your bookshelf!

I thoroughly enjoyed this book, it gave a great overview of the air war of world war two. Alongside the statistics were veteran comments giving a nice human touch.
It was fascinating how the war unfolded and how each side strived to improve their air forces and to also counter each others improvements. Once the USAAF joined the war, the GAF was simply overwhelmed and combined with over-politicising by the Nazis led to their downfall.
I recommend this book to all avid military historians.
