Yankee Dambusters: The Hwachon Dam Attack

Following on to May’s presentation addressing the famous Royal Air Force Dambusters, Museum Docent and Pilot Robert “Boom” Powell will describe the similarly named US Navy Squadron. VA-195 earned the nickname Dambusters after an attack on the Hwachon Dam during the Korean War. Powell’s presentation will detail the connection the Museum’s AD-4 Skyraider has with these  Yankee Dambusters, and will explore the last operational use of an air launched torpedo against a surface target by the US Navy.
