Quiz
There was no follow-up raid because aerial photography showed that the new anti-air raid defences on the dam installed after the attack would have made a second raid suicidal.

Blooper
The system devised to get the height right was, in the film, said to have been thought of by the 617 Sqn crews following a visit to the theater. In reality it was devised by the 'boffins' at Farnborough.

Citazioni
Official, Ministry of Aircraft Production: You say you need a Wellington Bomber for test drops. They're worth their weight in gold. Do you really think the authorities will lend you one? What possible argument could I put forward to get you a Wellington?
Doctor B. N. Wallis, C.B.E., F.R.S.: Well, if you told them I designed it, do you think that might help?

Curiosità sui crediti
Blu-Ray edition opening screen: "While we acknowledge some of the language used in The Dam Busters reflects historical attitudes audiences may find offensive, for reasons of historical accuracy we have opted to present the film as it was originally screened."

This refers to the fact that the protagonist, Wing Commander Guy Penrose Gibson's, dog is named "N-Word." In addition, the dog's name is used during the raid on the dams as code indicating the dam(s) have successfully been breached.

Versioni alternative
Prints distributed in the United States by Warner Brothers added a shot from L'avventura impossibile (1942) showing an early model B-17 Flying Fortress crashlanding in a forest.

Tally-Ho!(etc.)

By God, this is as definitive as a war film gets. It's on every year, and is as much a part of Christmas as getting drunk and Monopoly. Everyone in this Sceptred isle knows the theme to Dam Busters, and it causes more people to stand up and salute than God Save The Queen. It has moustachioed R.A.F boys, politely bespectacled scientists, laughable special effects, and an entirely predictable ending. It's a British institution, and I don't know where we'd be without it. You can keep your devolution and your New Labour, I've got Dam Busters and I'm not bloody budging.
