Richard Morris
Richard Morris (b. 1947) is an archaeologist and historian. He grew up in north Worcestershire and began his career working on excavations under York Minster. Among the themes in his writing are buildings and belief (Churches in the Landscape (1998); Evensong (2021)), place, identity and cultural memory (Time’s Anvil (2013); Yorkshire (2018)), and aviation and its people. Dam Buster joins two earlier biographies – Guy Gibson (1994) and Cheshire: the Biography of Leonard Cheshire VC (2000) – which connect in the world of flight and the deeds of No. 617 Squadron RAF.
