mikie Posted October 8, 2018 Share #1 Posted October 8, 2018 Hi, Would any of you please pass on any recommended books on... - Carlson's Raiders - The Dam Busters - The Manhattan Project, Los Alamos and the bomb testing. Nothing too technical, general reader stuff. Xmas is coming faster than I thought. These are potential gift ideas for some friends. Thanks!

The Iron Brigade Posted October 8, 2018 Share #5 Posted October 8, 2018 There are way to many great books on the Dam Busters to list. Do a Google search. Plus some great documentaries have been made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikie Posted October 8, 2018 Author Share #6 Posted October 8, 2018 Thanks for the ton of suggestions. Guess I should have asked which ones specifically you have read, enjoyed and recommend. If it is all the above, guess I have a lot of homework to do. I was hoping you'd help me cheat on cutting the list a little. Glad I didn't as a week before Xmas!

The Iron Brigade Posted October 9, 2018 Share #7 Posted October 9, 2018 I read all of the above books, plus many others. I had the pleasure of knowing many veterans who served with the Raiders and who flew with the 617th Squadron. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikie Posted October 9, 2018 Author Share #8 Posted October 9, 2018 Very impressive! It sounds like you could write a book of your own about meeting these men. Thank you for the recommendations. Mikie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mikie Hi Mikie, you've already gotten a lot of suggestions but I'd like to add one more. I really did enjoy this one. I don't know if it is still readily available (it's from 2012, ISBN 978-0-593-06676-8) Rene Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stratasfan Posted October 15, 2018 Share #10 Posted October 15, 2018 Not a book, but as far as The Dam Busters . . . you should try the British film, The Dam Busters, that has Richard Todd and Michael Redgrave. Really cool to see! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
