My 82 year old father Dr. George Edward Cragg finally told us what he did in the war, he was with the Precision #408 Squadron Bomber Command #5,he said he had 19 successful bombing runs and many photo recon runs one he said he and his crew won a prize for taking the best photos in broad daylight of some dams on the Ruhr Valley today we know the raid as \"The Dam Busters\" yet there is no mention of the other\'s who made this happen. Is there any of my fathers original crew still alive today? The 20th run was not a success they were jumped by a squadron of german fighters there only chance was to fly very low so the fighters could not get below them he said by the time they got to tree level they were doomed he put the plane down in a farmers field to there surprize the German farmers took care of them and saw to it that they hooked up with the allied forces approaching
