Operation Jericho: Freeing the French Resistance from Gestapo jail, Amiens 1944 (Raid),Used
Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
This is the story of Operation Jericho, the spectacular prison break staged by an elite group of British, Australian and New Zealand bomber pilots, who flew a daring lowlevel mission to blow holes in the walls of Amiens jail and free French Resistance prisoners under the sentence of death during World War II.With DDay looming, early 1944 was a time of massive intelligence activity across northern France, and many r?istants were being captured and imprisoned by the Germans. Among the jails full of French agents was Amiens, where hundreds awaited likely execution for their activities.To repay their debt of honour, MI6 requested an air raid with a seemingly impossible brief: to simultaneously blow holes in the prison walls, free as many men and women as possible while minimizing casualties, and kill German guards in their quarters. The crews would have to fly their bombrun at an altitude of just 20ft. Despite the huge difficulties, the RAF decided that the lowlevel specialists of No. 140 Wing had a chance of success.With the aid of firsthand accounts, explanatory 3D diagrams and dramatic original artwork, the eminent historian Robert Lyman explains how one of the most difficult and spectacular air raids of World War II was pulled off, and debunks some of the myths over why the raid was ordered in the first place.
