The 1954 British film "The Dam Busters" details the “Operation Chastise” executed by the Royal Air Force on the night of May 16, 1943, in World War II, almost in a documentary style. This film details the Allied efforts to target German dams during World War Two. In a very methodical, but also enthusiastic fashion, they figured out what plane, what bomb, what angle, what altitude, etc., were necessary to inflict maximum damage to the dams while minimizing losses to the planes. The answer they came up with sounds absurd, but it worked: very large, cylindrical bombs rotating backwards at a high rate of speed, causing them, when dropped, to skip along the surface of the water, right up to the base of the dam. To blow up a dam is not an easy task; the film details the design process of the bomb designers and how the British military adopted this plan (since it sounded like a fairy tale at first). The film does not seem dull and is even quite exciting. It was nominated for Best Effects at the 28th Academy Awards and for Best Film, Best British Film, and Best Screenplay at the 9th British Academy Film Awards.
