"But we did not all get through. One aircraft, P/C Rice, had already hit the sea, bounced up, lost both its outboard engines and its weapon, and had flown back on the inboard two." Enemy Coast Ahead, by Guy Gibson, Bantam Books, p.339 I'm re-reading some books I picked up a long time ago. I'd forgotten how interesting these books are. Enemy Coast Ahead covers the time from the Phony War through the attack on the Ruhr River Dams. Guy Gibson details flights and life in Hampden, Beaufighter, and Lancaster units. The book ends with a moment-by-moment, first person account of the attacks on the dams. I very much enjoyed the book and recommend it. Kevin |
