The Dam Bustersby Paul Brickhill Dam Busters is a story that has been told by so many in so many ways. But Paul Brickhill was the first to actually write it. This is the true story of 617 Squadron formed to destroy specific German dams during WWII. Hardback with dust jacket in good condition. This is the 'Cadet' edition published in 1959. It includes black and white images of the squadron and the dams. Fascinating stuff and a gripping story.
