After attempts spanning four years, on 12th November 1944, Lancasters of Numbers 9 and 617 Squadron successfully attacked the German battleship Tirpitz in Tromso fjord, Norway. Led by Wing Commander James Tait, using the 12,000lb 'Tallboy' bomb devised by Barnes Wallis, the Lancaster crews devastated the huge ship in a massive aerial bombardment, the Tirpitz capsizing and sinking inside just eleven minutes.
