#OnThisDay 1943 The RAF launched the Dambuster Raid, aiming to destroy three dams on the Ruhr. Sgt Richard Bolitho from Derry (left) was the only Irishman to take part. However, his plane struck pylons before they dropped their bomb & all crew were killed.
Hi,
I'm David, I'm from Ireland. I am an avid fan of history. I have my B.A. in History, my M.A. in Military History and Strategic Studies,a Post Qualification Diploma in History and I've been teaching History for five years now.
I wanted to create a podcast that examines, in great detail, major Irish battles and battles allover the world in various wars that Irish people played a significant part in.
Hope you enjoy.
