Na de middelbare school te hebben doorlopen koos Guy voor een carrière in de RAF: hij werd beroepsofficier. In 1936 kwam hij bij de <a href="/wiki/Royal_Air_Force" title="Royal Air Force">Royal Air Force</a>. Na zijn vliegeropleiding en zijn bevordering tot luitenant-vlieger vloog Gibson de Handley Page Hampden. Uiteindelijk werd hij aangesteld als commandant van het 83e <a href="/wiki/Squadron" title="Squadron">squadron</a>. In de tussentijd had Gibson de op zichzelf niet geringe overstap gemaakt gedurende meer dan zes maanden Bristol Beaufighter nachtjagers te vliegen en te leiden. Hij maakte in die periode jacht op Duitse vliegers die vaak alleen of in geringe aantallen kostbare, storende aanvallen op Britse doelen deden. </p><p>In 1941 werd Gibson benoemd tot kapitein. Vanaf 1942 was hij piloot van de beste Britse bommenwerper van de Tweede Wereldoorlog, de <a href="/wiki/Avro_Lancaster" title="Avro Lancaster">Avro Lancaster</a>. Later kreeg hij de leiding over een <a href="/wiki/Eskader" title="Eskader">eskader</a> van dertig Lancaster bommenwerpers: het 106e squadron. Begin 1943 werd hij gevraagd het nieuw op te richten <a href="/wiki/617e_Squadron_RAF" title="617e Squadron RAF">617e squadron</a> samen te stellen uit ervaren en vrijwillig toetredende bemanningen.

Het was een poging van de <a href="/wiki/Geallieerden_(Tweede_Wereldoorlog)" title="Geallieerden (Tweede Wereldoorlog)">geallieerden</a> om het <a href="/wiki/Ruhrgebied" title="Ruhrgebied">Ruhrgebied</a> zonder stroom te zetten, door de stuwdammen die de stroom leverden te bombarderen. </p><p>Verscheidene keren hadden de geallieerden de wapenfabrieken gebombardeerd maar iedere keer bouwden de Duitsers ze razendsnel weer op. Gibson kreeg de opdracht om niet de fabrieken, maar de stuwdammen te vernietigen. Deze missie werd door velen als onmogelijk gezien omdat de stuwdammen extreem zwaar waren en de aanval extreme precisie vereiste. </p><p>De missie was een succes, maar de verliezen waren zwaar. Dankzij het bombardement zat het hele Ruhrgebied een maand lang zonder stroom, waardoor de Duitse oorlogsindustrie ernstige vertraging opliep. Mede door de inzet van grote aantallen dwangarbeiders uit geheel Europa wisten de Duitsers veel sneller dan verwacht de stuwdammen weer op te bouwen, waardoor de Duitse oorlogsindustrie al na een paar maanden weer op volle toeren draaide. Desalniettemin was de morele klap groot. Enige tijd waren de Duitsers gechoqueerd door het idee dat de vijand een zo goed verdedigd doel zo precies en succesvol kon opsporen en vernietigen. De aanval was tevens een enorme opsteker voor het Britse moreel, dat na drie jaar aardig in elkaar begon te zakken vanwege de uitzichtloosheid van de oorlog. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Na_de_missie">Na de missie</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Guy_Gibson&veaction=edit&section=3" title="Bewerk dit kopje: Na de missie" class="mw-editsection-visualeditor"><span>bewerken</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-divider"> | </span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Guy_Gibson&action=edit&section=3" title="De broncode bewerken van de sectie: Na de missie"><span>brontekst bewerken</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/Bestand:GuyGibson.grave.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/4/4b/GuyGibson.grave.jpg/260px-GuyGibson.grave.jpg" decoding="async" width="260" height="347" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/4/4b/GuyGibson.grave.jpg/390px-GuyGibson.grave.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/4/4b/GuyGibson.grave.jpg/520px-GuyGibson.grave.jpg 2x" data-file-width="2304" data-file-height="3072" /></a><figcaption>Gibsons graf in Steenbergen</figcaption></figure> <p>Gibson werd benoemd tot majoor en kreeg diverse staffuncties.
