Guy Penrose GibsonCommission date: Sep 3 1940
Guy Penrose Gibson was a legendary British pilot and a famous hero of the Royal Air Force during World War II. He is best known for leading the "Dam Busters" raid in 1943, where his squadron used "bouncing bombs" to destroy key German dams and disrupt enemy industry. During the mission, he bravely flew his own plane low to draw enemy fire away from his teammates, an act of courage that earned him the Victoria Cross. Although he died in action at only 26 years old, Gibson is remembered today as a national hero and a symbol of the incredible bravery that helped win the war.
