In May 1943, 617 Squadron RAF executed one of the most daring operations in military history. Flying barely 50 feet above the sea, Wing Commander Guy Gibson and his bombers mounted a raid against hydro-electric dams in Germany. Nearly 70 years later in April 2011, a new generation of elite flyers followed their heroes into the theatre of war.
