Today marks the 79th anniversary of Operation Chastise, RAF Bomber Command's raid to take out the dams in Germany's Ruhr valley.

Carried out by Bomber Command's 617 Squadron (known as "The Dam Busters"), 53 of the men in the picture above lost their lives in the raid.

Lest we forget.

Because at a night, James Todd (Gibson) watched a show… and learned how to flew very low alt during night .
I know about that story at early 1990s, I bought a dvd and watched the movie about ten years later.
