A Avro Lancaster B VI was dived to a maximum indicated speed of 350 mph (565 km/h) or Mach 0.72 at 25,000 ft (7,620 m) in June 1944. It was equipped with special bouncing bombs which would skip across the water to the dam wall and explode below the surface of water to inflict structural damage. Climb to 28,000 ft (8,500 m) at 65,000 lb (29,500 kg) take-off weight was accomplished in 44.8 minutes with a maximum climb rate of 1,080 ft/min (5.5 m/s) at 1,000 ft (305 m). The "Dambuster" was modified to attack dams in Germany. Among the many variants, the Mk.III "Dambuster" and Mk.I "Grand Slam Bomber" were best known and the most famous.
