It was a fantastic book, "The Dam Busters" about the UK 617 squadron,
but I believe they flew Lancasters against the dams as the bombs were
quite heavy.
I wonder if they used the Mosquitoes to test the Barnes Wallace bomb
design but at a much smaller scale?
Thanks for the link Miloch, I will have to read further.
