Watched both parts, facinating story, they had to work all the calculations out again, there are, apparently, no surviving plans or calculations of how the bouncing bombs were made or worked.

The first part showed experiments after the war using what looked like Boston bombers, one A/C dropped from too low and the bomb took its tail off, no survivors unfortunately, dangerous business.

Since checked it was a US A-26 Invader.

Nice bit of flying by the old DC-4.

Cheers
