Leaving school without any qualifications, Barnes Wallis pursued his ambition to be an engineer and went on to become one of Britain’s greatest inventors. Known best for his invention and development of the ‘bouncing bomb‘ used by 617 Squadron to attack the Ruhr dams, Barnes Wallis’ career spanned over six decades working on warships, airships, aircraft, weapons and even a connection with the first manned spaceflight to the Moon.
