Late on the night of May 1617, 1943, pilots of No. 617
Squadron set out in their
Lancasters to destroy dams
in Germany’s heavily-industrialized Ruhr Valley using revolutionary bouncing bomb technology developed by British engineer
Barnes Wallis. Now, you can follow
along as modern-day engineers attempt
to recreate the feat! Encountering unanticipated roadblocks along the way,
project engineers become increasingly
amazed at the 1943 achievement. Can
they match Wallis’ success of nearly
70 years ago?
