"The Dam Busters" was a great movie. I can hardly wait to see how political correctness totally screws the story to the wall.

The book, "633 Squadron" is a fascinating read and covers all of the special missions the squadron conducted from the dam busting mission through the destruction of the Turpiz and the V-3 launching sites.

The irony is that the program for the dinner honoring the Squadron after the first mission called them "The Damn Busters"!

"The Dam Busters"

Maybe the new movie should be called "The Darn Busters".

Actually “633 Squadron” was a different movie (Cliff Robertson).

The Dam Busters were 617 Squareon.
