Flying at altitudes as low as fifty feet, Lancasters of 617 Squadron follow the Dutch canals en-route to Germany - their target, the mighty Dams of the Ruhr - on the night of the 16/17 May 1943. At such low level the pilots of many of the specially modified Lancasters found their flying skills tested to the extreme as they were force to take violent evasive actions when they encountered flak, large electricity pylons and tall trees, but several of the gunners in the crews still managed to shoot up and damage a number of trains on the way.

He was Bomb Aimer on Joe McCarthy's Lancaster AJ-T, the only American on the raid. They attacked the Sorpe Dam, for which he was awarded the DFM. Commissioned a few months later, George eventually retired from the RCAF in 1962.

Immediately following their devastating attack on the Mohne Dam, the specially modified Lancasters of 617 Squadron successfully breach the second of Germany's mighty western dams - the Eder, on the night of the 16/17th May, 1943. After hitting the target with pinpoint precision, pilot Les Knight and Flight Engineer Ray Grayston battle with the controls of the Lancster AJ-N in order to clear the high ground beyond the dam as a torrent of water erupts into the valley below them; the wall of the Eder Dam is rent apart and collapses.
