Post by: Hilary Christine Olson on July 12, 2010, 09:08:22 PM

 I have recently finished reading  Enemy Coast Ahead , Uncensored by Guy Gibson VC DSO DFC. Leader of the Dambusters.  I Enjoyed this book it gives in very vivid detail  views into WWII Bomber and Fighter commands of the RAF. He was also a very courageous pilot who was pained by the losses incurred  of ,His Men" during combat.    On the upside this man knew how to party !   The last couple of pages should be  required reading for all who live as it gives his wise insight on war prevention. Lest We Forget.

I then read Susan Ottaways'Glorious Dambuster Updated ... Has many good Photographs and details included from his family. ....
I lived near Derwent reservoir Derbyshire England ,One of their practice  sites. There is a museum in the first tower with many artifacts from the Dambusters Raid.
