Avro Lancaster B.III (Special) "The Dambusters"

After a short but intense period of training, the group of elite volunteer airmen who formed the new RAF No. 617 Squadron took off from Royal Air Force Scampton on the night of 16-17 May 1943 on the most daring bombing raid in history.
Led by their mysterious and inspirational commander, Guy Gibson, he is reported to have said:
"This squadron will either make history or be completely wiped out," but despite this, every man was determined to play his part in this historic attack.
Nineteen "Special" Lancasters and their crews sent a message to the German nation that could not be disguised by their propaganda ministers.
