Operation Big Ben

{detailed description}Operation Big Ben, the anti-V2 Spitfire missions, was one of the best kept secrets of the Second World War, until now, its 60th anniversary.
Through Squadron histories, log books, official reports and interviews with the people who flew dipped winged Spitfires to dive-bomb V2 rocket sites towards the end of the Second World War, a story as fascinating as the Dam Busters raid or the Battle of Britain, is at last fully told.
The authors explain the difficulties of the missions, utilizing the firsthand recollections of the men who completed the dive-bombing raids. They show the complexities of dive-bombing and how to dive-bomb, all supported by lists of the Spitfires that flew with the squadrons and VI and V2 target statistics.
Here is a story that should have been told long ago and is dedicated to all those brave pilots who, unrecognized, flew these dangerous missions.
