I remember seeing a movie years ago about this effort. The first attempts to destroy the dams failed and the British came up with an unique bomb (spherical). They flew in low over the water and released the bombs and the bombs would skip over the water right into the dams. Maybe my memory is wrong? Yes, your memory is fading ...
The bombing raid with the bouncing bombs was to destroy industrial dams on the Rhine.
