The Dam Busters (radio serial)

The Dam Busters is a 1954 Australian radio serial written by Morris West and produced by Gordon Grimsdale.

It was based on the book The Dam Busters by Paul Brickhill. West and Grimsdale also did radio adaptations of Brickhill's books The Great Escape and Reach for the Sky. West wrote these after relocating to Sydney from Melbourne following the end of his first marriage.

A number of the cast had served in the airforce during World War Two.

The Sydney Daily Telegraph said "The wonder of this programme lies in the consistently true characterisation given by each performer."
