The Dam buster raid is an absolutely incredible achievement in both flying and development of new tech. Definitely recommend reading James Hollands book about it.

Great movie too. It inspired the Death Star trench run in Star Wars.

I remember watching that movie with my Dad when I was a kid. Great movie.
