Thank you! This is a favorite film of mine. (I have an earlier version without the dog’s name bleeped out)...

I would think “The Dambusters” are, or should be celebrated in Great Britain as we celebrate Doolittle's Tokyo Raiders.
I saw the movie, “The Dambusters” as a teenager and can to this day remember much of it. Especially those bombs bouncing in to the dam.
I am in awe of the special effects in movies from the 50s and 60s. All done without computers. Just miniatures and imagination.
The Dambusters and The Caine Mutiny are two pretty good examples.

Yeah...and Obama doing the same to America...

Destroy manufacturing capacity.

stop oil drilling

phase out coal electrical generating capacity

terrorizes the population (IRS/Obamacare)

I recall playing an old Commodore 64 computer game based on these bombing raids. Very clever idea, using spotlights to gauge the correct bomb release altitude.

Thanks for this Dambusters post. There are several articles on the Daily Mail website about the 70th anniversary to include a video of the only flying Lancaster making a run on the Derwent Dam which the real Dambusters flew their practise mission (less dropping bombs) on. and includes a fly over of the current 617 Squadron in their Panavia Tornadoes
