The
Dam Busters: A British Film Guide
by John Ramsden
Book Description: An original mix of film analysis and political
history, this book examines the political and cinematic significance of
The Dam Busters, as both a British institution and a fine war film. A critical
and popular success, the film celebrates an image of gutsy ingenuity for
the "Brits at war," with the 1943 raid by Lancaster bombers on the dams
of Germany's Ruhr region, using the extraordinary "bouncing bomb." Ramsden's
fresh and incisive book offers an overall review of the film and its place
in history. It convincingly suggests that the film's cultural impact made
it difficult to assess the true value of Britain's bombing campaign.

Reach
for the Sky
by Paul Brickhill
A shiver ran down my spine when I read the first words of a review
at the Amazon site: "I sent my dog-eared copy of Reach for the Sky to a
legless hero ...". I had given my own copy to Triple Pete whilst he was
still in hospital recovering from the most horrific accident. This book
is required reading for those interested in aviation, the Battle of Britain
... and the human condition. It's the story of Douglas Bader, a young man
who lost both legs in an aircraft accident shortly before the war, who
bullied his way into the RAF despite stiff opposition, who went on to become
an ace pilot and a wing commander and who finished the war in the infamous
Stalag 13, a prison for recalcitrant escapees.

The
Remorseless Road: Singapore to Nagasaki (Airlife Classics)
by James McEwan
(Paperback - July 2002)
Book Description: This is the compelling and at times harrowing
account of the author's experiences while serving in the RAF during the
Second World War. His autobiography recounts his posting to the Far East,
where he served alongside those resolute airmen who fought the Japanese
against all odds and to the bitter end, the survivors eventually laying
down their arms. Then follows his account of the ordeal and humiliation
of imprisonment for the last three-and-a-half years of the war. It records
events in that momentous conflict in the Far East over fifty years ago-events
that should never be forgotten.

"The gratitude of every home in our Island, in our Empire, and
indeed throughout the world except in the abodes of the guilty, goes out
to the British airmen, who, undaunted by odds, unwearied in their constant
challenge and mortal danger, are turning the tide of world war by their
prowess and by their devotion. Never in the field of human conflict was
so much owed by so many to so few."
Winston Churchill, House of Commons, 20th August, 1940
