I never thought for one moment that I would take part in an operation that would be recognized at the time and subsequent years as a major event in the history of the British War Effort in the air Les Munro The Dambusters Experience tells the behind-the-scenes story,and re-lives the attack itself under the leadership of Wing Commander Guy Gibson, as he and his men deployed, for the first time, the devastating new secret weapon developed by brilliant scientist Barnes Wallis. Fully illustrated and accompanied by beautifully reproduced memorabilia surrounding the raid, from log-books and flight-plans to eye-witness accounts of the damage inflicted on the dams, this unique homage to the Dambusters squadron is an essential companion to one of the war smost exciting and memorable moments.
