[b]Rating[/b]: 5 out of 5 stars
I grew up watching The Dambusters and hearing about Guy Gibson. However this book reveals more insights about his life and the manner of his death. The book has been well researched and for me raised more questions about the man than answers- it's a very interesting read.

[b]Rating[/b]: 5 out of 5 stars For discerning fans of WW2 movies, this book is a must read! Such people appreciate when extreme efforts are made to make such films technically correct and historically accurate, such as were evident in the making of the 1969 classic film The Battle of Britain. A film whose flight sequences using mostly real aircraft, remain to this day unparalleled. The book describes the huge effort made to assemble a fleet of Spitfires, Hurricanes, Messerschmidts, Heinkel bombers, etc to enable scenes showing the scale of bombing raids with fighter support, and the ensuing chaos in the skies when RAF Fighter Command engage them. The book is packed full of details and not just the technical stuff around the aircraft. A lot of the broader film process is covered as well as the star studded cast and the story they are telling. One of the more interesting stories is the musical score and the fact the film has two distinguished conductors whose music is still greatly admired.. Read more
