I am glad to say that my new book Guy Gibson and his Dambuster crew has now been published by The History Press, and should now be available in all good bookshops. The ISBN is 978 1 80399 213 6. You can also go to one of the many big mail-order booksellers, such as Waterstones, or specialist booksellers, such as Aviation Bookshop.
My new book is the only one which contains biographies of both Gibson and the six men who comprised his Lancaster crew on the Dams Raid (the only time all seven men flew together on an operation). Between them, however, they had already amassed more than 180 operations in their previous service. Sadly, they would all die within a year of the Dams Raid, and Gibson himself was killed on 19 September 1944.
The whole crew were decorated for their part in the Dams Raid, and the book goes on to describe their activities after 17 May 1943, and their return to operational duties.
