Description: LISTED HERE A HISTORIC WORLD WAR 11 DOCUMENT THE DAMBUSTERS RAIDS SERGEANT CHARLES BRENNAN'S LOGBOOK Nine-page extract from the log book of Sergeant Charles Brennan, flight engineer of Flight Lieutenant J.V. Hopgood's aircraft, which was hit by flak as it attacked the Moehne Dam. With the starboard wing ablaze, Upkeep was dropped late, bounced over the dam wall and struck the large power station, which was destroyed when the fourth self-destructive device worked after 90 seconds. Meanwhile, Brennan having vainly tried to quell the fire, helped Hopgood boost power so that the aircraft climbed enough for three members of the crew to escape by parachute (two surviving to become POWs). Preoccupied as he was, Brennan had no chance to get out and his body was one of four found in the wreckage of AJ-M 3.7 miles (6 kilometres) northwest of the Moehne near Ostoennen. The log book, noting that Brennan was missing, presumed dead, was completed by administrative staff at Scampton. The family photo and record of a raid on Bremen with Hopgood, when in 106 Squadron, were enclosed.
