THE DAM BUSTER RAID-A REAPPRAISAL 70 YEARS ON

摘要

Very little remains to be said on the subject of 617 Squadron's May 1943 raid on the German dams. Nevertheless, those attacks, known collectively as the dams raids or dam buster raids, continue to fascinate and no more so than in this 70th anniversary year. Author Alan Cooper has returned to the story of the attacks, the development of the famous 'bouncing bomb' and the ongoing discussion on the merits and achievements of the raid with this new 216-page hardback.
