The Dam Busters
Avro Lancaster B Mk III (Special) · 1955
You colored this airplane in the book – here you can find it as a model kit, model or movie. In the book on page 37.
The Lancasters were modified for the raid: the upper gun turret and the bomb bay doors were removed. Barnes Wallis's drum-shaped bouncing bomb hung crosswise underneath. A motor spun it backwards – so it skipped across the water all the way to the dam wall.
