the movie "the dam busters" re-counting barnes wallis's bouncing bomb & the mission to destroy the ruhr dams is going to be re-made. it will be a great movie with a top notch director. needless to say..... the lancaster bombers will be computer generated due to the rarity of operational types. some politically correct problems/ issues are involved........ mission commander guy gibson's dog was named an insulting expletive for black people. this name was also the code word to indicate success in breaching the dams. the movie makers are haggling on what to do to keep the movie accurate but not abrasive to blacks as to movie content. a real dilemma for historic purests & black people in general.
