Marines testing “Rover”

[Vincent]

Guy Gibson’s leadership that night is one of the best examples of a true leader.

After he dropped his bomb he saw the next Lancaster get shot down. When the third Lancaster made its run Gibson flew ahead of it to draw the antiaircraft fire. That is impressive, but it doesn’t end there. Gibson then flew ahead of the fourth Lancaster to draw the antiaircraft gunner’s fire as it made its run.

You got THAT right. He flew along the dam to draw fire and do some spring plowing with the nose turret.
