Wing Commander Guy Gibson’s aircraft in the foreground and Flt. Lt. Harold Brownlow Morgan “Micky” Martin’s in the distance, both draw flak away from Sqn. Ldr. Henry Melvin “Dinghy” Young’s Lancaster after it has dropped its ‘Bouncing Bomb’ and makes its escape over the Möhne Dam. Led by Gibson, 19 Lancasters departed their home base in three waves, each aircraft armed with a single bouncing bomb developed by inventor, engineer Barnes Wallis. The targets were German dams in the heart of the industrial Ruhr. The resulting attacks breached the Möhne and Eder Dams with attempts also on the Sorpe and Ennepe Dams. For his leadership and courage, Gibson was awarded the Victoria Cross. Thirty four other men also received decorations.
