Product Information
Guy Gibson was one of the outstanding pilots and leaders of World War II. He is best known for his organization of the attack on the Moehne and Eden Dams in May 1943, but his operational career spanned the greater part of the conflict, starting the day after the outbreak of war and continuing, with only brief intervals, until a rest was enforced upon him after the dams raids. In the summer of 1944, he resumed occasional operational flying. He was shot down in September 1944 and buried in Holland, where he is still widely remembered.Product Identifiers

An excellent well researched biography.
A very interesting & informative biography of Guy Gibson, probably the most definitive to date. Richard Morris goes back to original sources to create a compelling and rounded portrait of a complex and driven war hero and explains how Gibson’s ‘Enemy coast ahead’ book contains inaccuracies that have tainted previous books and even the script of the famous film. The biography rightly concentrates on Gibson’s character & personality, this is not a detailed examination of the Dambusters raid, if you want that see John Sweetman’s book. The author has produced a first class historical biography that is a well written lucid account of Gibson and his rise through the ranks of Bomber Command.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
