I read a short notice about a new book on the Dam Busters, and it focuses on Canadian involvement - 14 of the 53 killed were Canadian -  here's the title, you can reserve, but the wait is roughly one month.

That was the first movie I ever remember in the theater - anyone else remember the theme music?  or shedding tears for the dog?

Think I'll get a copy at a book store. Mt. A room mate said his dad was on these things. Interesting story all round.

quote.. "Operation Chastise cost the lives of fifty-three airmen, including fourteen Canadians. Of the sixteen RCAF men who survived, seven received military decorations. "

....I can only wonder why they ALL would not receive military decorations,
