Notes
AJ-P was flown on the Dams Raid by Flight Lieutenant Harold ‘Micky’ Martin, one of the most skilful low-flying pilots in No. 617 Squadron. He attacked the Möhne dam in the first wave and afterwards flew alongside other aircraft to help draw the dam’s anti-aircraft fire, returning safely. Martin survived the war as one of the RAF’s most decorated airmen.
