About this title:
Synopsis: The story of the most powerful bombs of the Second World War.
From the Publisher: Perhaps the most famous inventor and designer of the Second World War was Barnes Wallis. Thanks to The Dambusters he is still a household name today. His story is not just of the bombs that destroyed the Möhne and Eder dams but also of the other bombs he invented. He was the most prolific inventor of armaments of the period and his Tallboy and Grand Slam earthquake bombs helped to destroy such high–profile targets as the Bielefeld viaduct and led to the eventual sinking of the battleship Tirpitz. They were only eclipsed in destructive power by the atom bombs dropped on Japan in 1945.
Barnes Wallis’ Bombs is the story of the development of Wallis’ bombs, their destructive uses and how they helped win the war for the Allies.
This, Stephen Flower’s first book, is the definitive history of Barnes Wallis’ bombs.
