Cullen (Haddington, East Lothian United Kingdom) - See all my reviews    This is the story of the formation and operations of 617 squadron, from it's first, very famous dam busting mission, through to the end of the war. Many people believe that the dam busting mission was all there was to this squadron, but they went on to perform some remarkable feats of airmanship and precision bombing. The development and use of Barnes Wallis' other great bombs, the Tallboy and the ten ton Grand Slam, are described in some detail. Dropping one bomb from 18,000 feet and hitting the target is a little bit old hat with today's laser guided smart bombs, but these guys were doing it without any of todays technology.  Comment | Permalink | Was this review helpful to you?

Read Dam Busters and you will now what I am writing about.  Comment | Permalink | Was this review helpful to you?

(Bangor, Northern Ireland) - See all my reviews This is the story of the most daring airborne mission of World War 2. It accurately captures the birth of the idea to bomb the dams supplying water to the industrial heartland of Germany: the Ruhr. The objective: to cause maximum disruption to production in aid of the German war effort. The execution: ultra-low flying over heavily-defended enemy territory at night.The characters:Barnes Wallis-the leading British scientist of his generation, Squadron Leader Guy Gibson-the most accomplished British bomber pilot of the war and the Men from the Ministry who almost prevent the idea taking flight and Prime Minister Winston Churchill who ensures it does! Learn of the trials and tribulations of developing a bomb to do the job, pulling together a ne
