AbstractHistoryArchive Description

Desperate to make a serious impact on Germany and hopefully shorten World War II, the British command proposes a daring raid to smash the country's industrial heart. At first, the objective looks impossible, until a British scientist invents an ingenious weapon capable of destroying the planned target.

Notes

  • Based both on Paul Brickhill's book The Dam Busters and Guy Gibson's book Enemy Coast Ahead (1944).
