From dust jacket: In March 1943 the 617 Squadron was formed at RAF Scampton Llincolnshire as a heavy bomber unit specifically for the operations planned against the Ruhr dams. Wing Commander Guy Gibson was chosen to lead the Squadron and was given freedom to pick his own crews. On the evening of 16th May 1943 the famous dam raids took place and though the operation was an outstanding success there was a heavy price to pay. Of the nineteen Lancasters that took off eight planes and fifty-five men did not return. Guy Gibson was awarded the Victoria Cross and thirty-three other airmen were decorated. From January 1944 until the end of the war the 617 operated as a special duties squadron from RAF Woodhall Spa first under Wing Commander Leonard Cheshire and later with Wing Commanders Tait and Fauquier. Many stories have been written about the Dam Busters and the 617 Squadron but this is the only account written by one who was there throughout those turbulent days. hardcover
2587No date c.1940-1; Sgts. Mess Mildenhall Suffolk. 2 pages 8vo both with Royal Air Force letterhead bearing the motto 'PER ARDUA AD ASTRA'. Not in good condition - creased frayed torn and discoloured - but a marvellous and immediate piece of history regarding what one authority describes as the 'strategic bombing . principally against the Ruhr on which No.149 concentrated during the winter of 1940-1'. The letter begins 'Dear Mum Just a line to thank you for the photographs I think that one of you is very good. I have done two raids so far the last one was very good we bombed the dockyards on the Ruhr and started three lovely big fires I think that every bomber in the Air Force was over that night bombs were bursting everywhere and the A. A. fire was just like bonfire night. I think the German A. A. and their searchlights are rotten they never got anywhere near our machine. We are doing another raid tonight and I hope we give them another good plastering.' Two sentences of domestic comment conclude the letter. It is a question how the writer was able to give away so much information. No date [c.1940-1]; Sgts. Mess, Mildenhall, Suffolk. unknown
