Book of the Month

摘要

Having been involved with the popular Haynes aviation Owners' Workshop Manual series since its beginning, and being an author of two (Avro Lancaster and North American Mustang), I would openly admit that I am great fan of these books. But that is for a very good reason - I believe they offer a refreshing approach to their subjects, and this new Dam Busters Manual is just such an example. During the Second World War, in an effort to shorten the conflict, aeronautical engineer Barnes Wallis worked on the development of a range of air-delivered weapons to attack strategically important enemy targets that until then were invulnerable to conventional bombs and bombing. These weapons, their development and delivery methods, are revealed in fascinating detail in the Dam Busters Manual.
