Enemy Coast Ahead
In one of the greatest books ever produced about RAF Bomber Command, Wing Commander Guy Gibson writes affectionately about his beloved aircrews. He gives one of the most brilliant descriptions of the raid by Lancasters of the No. 617 Squadron - the famous Dambusters, which Gibson himself led - on the Mochne and Eder Dams. Born in 1918, Guy Gibson joined the RAF when he was 18. Only four years later, he was flying with Bomber Command. For his gallantry and inspiring leadership on the Dambusters raid, he was awarded the VC, but insisted upon returning to an operational bomber squadron and was shot down whilst flying as Master Bomber in a Mosquito of the Pathfinder Force.
