Arcus_Aesopi Posted July 19 Share Posted July 19 Awesome video! It also shows how workers use modular floats that someone asked about in another thread which I think was about a picture of a large formation of floats behind an aircraft carrier. This happens to be the same float brand that I encountered in the shipyard... they're very flexible and the way this crew used them to raise the B25 was awesome. Oh the mud.... 😄 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord_Slayer Posted July 20 Share Posted July 20 There was an episode years ago of Secrets of the Dead regarding the Dambusters raid. While I can't find that particular show, I did find this which covers everything that show did, including the dropping of a spinning bomb from a DC-4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
