RAF Squadron no 617 used skip bombing quite effectively against dams in Germany.
Unfortunately RAF Commander in Charge Sir Arthur “Bomber” Harris wasn’t a fan of the technique and refused to follow up with more conventional bombing to finish off the dams resulting in the German ability to quickly repair the damage caused initially.
Albert Speer was mystified by the lack of followup by RAF Bomber Command.
617 Squadron went on to use the Tallboy and Grand Slam bombs against canals and bridges.
In a series of attacks in September and November, 1944 Squadron 617 first disabled then sank the the German ship Tirpiz in the Norwegian fjord of Tromso using Tallboy bombs.
Their squadron badge has a banner reading Apres moi le deluge (After me, the flood).
Don’tcha miss the days when people did what had to be done and were proud of it?
Yeah, I do.
