Watch the Dambusters movie if you can find it. They used 2 lights to tell when they were at 200'(I think it was 200'). I read the book and it's interesting that Barnes Wallis who designed the bombs was very troubled that so many German civilians were killed from the flooding.
He also invented the tall boys and the grand slam bombs that were finned and fell supersonically. The Germans thought they were rocket powered cause they penetrated the u-boat pens. Tall boys were 12,000lbs. and the Grand slam was 22,000lbs. It's interesting to note that if the atomic bombs weren't dropped on Japan, there was talk they'd send the 617 (Dambusters) squadron over with some presents. They were very accurate in hitting their intended targets.
