Loved the book and movie about these guys and their mission when I was a kid. RIP and thank you from all freedom-loving human beings!

An incredibly dangerous mission, one that--despite later claims--did have a major effect on the war because the breaching of these two dams seriously affected German war production for nearly a year.

Isn’t the Hobbit Director , Peter Jackson, a fellow New Zealander, going to do a re-make of the movie ?

I found the technology involved absolutely fascinating.

Using a pair of spotlights to provide an altitude reference, and spinning the bomb backwards so it would sink instead of skipping, were really brilliant.

I found this interview of Mr. Munro from 2013. Pretty neat.
