Reading

Another book that I have read just a short while ago is called The Dam Busters and its by Paul Brickhill, its an old book publish in the early 1950's and so it was censored.

Now there are many books about the Dam Buster raid some 30 I counted and I really did not try that hard in looking.

I think its a great book and age has not really damaged it in any way that I can see, there is an uncensored version but I have not seen that myself.

In fact the order in which I have read the last three books is interesting, in that it all sort of makes sense to read the books in the order that I read them.

I first read a book about the Lancaster Bomber then this book then Guy Gibson's, with the first and second books being uncensored it made the middle book interesting as you can see what was left out and also what Paul Brickhill also did not know.

So all in all some good books that tell it how it was and just how brutal it all was and just how large the losses Bomber Command suffered.

I don't think I could have done what these aircrew went through.

I assume that the US and the German aircrews had the same sort of time/terror and losses. So in my book all were brave and deserve my respect.
