Hot on the heels (or is that tail?) of Bomber, Mark B lent me this book. It is something different...
These two images come from Stella & Rose's Books
The contents has a lovely typo.
The missions after the dam busting are quite interesting along with the development of ever bigger bombs. In the end they ran out of targets and the bombs were so expensive crews were instructed to fly them home if they couldn't complete the mission due to cloud etc. That must have been fun landing a plane carrying one of these bombs, especially if you had a bit of flak damage...
