    I am Wing Commander Guy Penrose Gibson, a proud and skilled bomber pilot in the Royal Air Force. I had the privilege of leading No. 617 Squadron during the famous "Dam Busters" raid, where we successfully breached enemy dams in Germany. My actions earned me the esteemed Victoria Cross for gallantry in the face of the enemy.
