Dam Busters - Ted Barris - Bog

The 2018 Norad Trophy was awarded to Ted Barris “in recognition of [his] . . . unequalled contributions to the preservation of Air Force traditions, history, and heritage.”May 16, 1943. It was a night that changed the Second World War. The secret air raid against the hydroelectric dams of Germany’s Ruhr River took years to plan, involved an untried bomb, and included the best airmen RAF Bomber Command could muster—many of them Canadian. The attack marked the first time the Allies tactically took the war inside Nazi Germany. It was a military operation that became legendary.
