The Dambusters.
Designed by Barnes Wallis (Who also designed the Vickers Wellington) it is the Bouncing Bomb used to destroy the Mohne & Eider dams, the raid led by Wing Commander Guy Gibson VC DSO DFC of 617 Sqn RAF.
Number 617 Squadron RAF became commonly known as the Dambusters. This is due to their actions during Operation Chastise against German dams during World War II.
large barrel type bombs that were skipped into dams where they exploded and destroyed the dam.
The famous dambuster Lachlan MacDonald could stand only a meter away from the dam. Other lesser dambusters had to be atleast one hundred meters away from the dam or there would be risk of severe injuries to there dermous cells.
