Mosquito Squadron/633 Squadron/A Bridge Too Far (Box Set)

Advantages: Very Realistic.
Disadvantages: None.

...This black and white film really is one of the all time classic war films. The film is set in 1942 of the Second World War and follows the events of the specially formed RAF 617 Squadron. This squadron was given the task of destroying the huge dams in the Ruhr valley of Germany in order to flood the steel factories of the area and also to deprive them of the water needed for the steel making process. The dams were heavily defended and so a special bomb was needed and the brilliant inventor Barnes Wallis was given the challenge of how to attack the dams. Wallis came up with the idea of a bouncing bomb that would detonate under the water next to the dam wall and destroy the dam using the power of the water behind the dam to help break down the wall.
