Nary a mention of Guy Gibson's dog.
Another classic quote from the Canadian pilot of the DC3 they were using:
I was rather impressed that they managed to hit the (simulated one third scale) dam with the bouncing bomb thingie at the first attempt.
In fact, it nearly knocked a hole through the dam simply from its impact.
The explosive bit was good though.
I like explosions.
There was also footage of what happens when you drop the bomb at too low an altitude.
The splash knocks the tail off the aircraft & it piles into the terrain at 200 knots.
Not survivable.
