A definitive new edition of a classic, World War II memoir, complete with more than 100 photographs, and notes from leading historians.

Guy Gibson was the leader of the famous Dambusters raid, and Enemy Coast Ahead is a vivid, honest account, widely regarded as one of the best books on the Second World War. It also provides an insider's perspective, setting down in clear detail the challenges that the RAF faced in the war against Germany's Luftwaffe.

Tragically, Gibson died in September 1944, when his Mosquito crashed near Steenbergen in the Netherlands. He was aged just 26. This new book has been published to mark the 75th anniversary of his death and includes an introduction by James Holland, a historian and broadcaster. It includes notes by Dr Robert Owen, the Official Historian of the No. 617 Squadron Association, and many images that have never before been published.

Published in association with the RAF Museum

Inspired the 1955 film The Dam Busters, starring Richard Todd and Michael Redgrave
