Description

8vo., First Edition, with portrait frontispiece and 17 plates on 12; handsomely bound in full navy crushed morocco, sides with gilt frame border, back with raised bands ruled in gilt, second and third compartments lettered and ruled in gilt, all other compartments tooled in gilt with propeller motif, hand-made endpapers, a most attractive copy ideal as a gift or for presentation. The moving story of RAF Bomber Command's most famous squadron and Operation CHASTISE, arguably the most famous air exploit of WWII. This book formed the basis of Michael Anderson's classic feature film (1954) of the same name starring Michael Redgrave, Richard Todd and Nigel Stock. The stirring 'Dam Busters March', written by Eric Coates as the theme to the movie, was almost immediately adopted as an official march of the Royal Air Force. Enser, p.64; Mulholland & Jordan B121
