The innovative weapon, developed by Barnes Wallis, was specifically designed to skip across water and breach dams. The squadron demonstrated its effectiveness through successful trials, leading to approval from top military officials, including Air Chief Marshal Sir Arthur Harris. Ultimately, the mission was sanctioned as part of a strategic effort to disrupt German industrial power by targeting key dams in the Ruhr Valley.
