This is freaking cool! Is being carrier planes the only common thread? They weren't made by the same company, so I guess so. USN Aviation baby!! 🤘

The Dam Busters. The Allies decided they needed to destroy some dams. The RAF used Lancaster bombers to "Skipbomb" using these drum shaped bombs and skipping them across the waters surface and into the wall of the Dam. It was a wild plan, but they freaking did it. They destroyed Dams by skipbombing with Lancaster bombers.. Just another tale of people pulling crazy shit off for victory in wartime.
