The bouncing bomb was a bomb that bounced on water. It was used to destroy the German dams in an attempt to flood the German munition and growth factories. They were usually dropped by Lancaster bombers - based in Lincolnshire
Additional answer
Apart from during the research stage ALL the bombs were carried by Lancasters, because they were too heavy for smaller aircraft.
The bomb devised by Barns-Wallis and English man was used to destroy dams used by the Nazis for powering industries which were creating weapons in the second world war. The bombs were dropped by the RAF on the reservoirs that held back by these dams. The bombs were developed to bounce across the water similar to skipping stone so that they collided with the dam wall and sunk to a specific depth. Here the bomb detonated and breaching the dam walls and causing millions of gallons of water to engulf the town beneath

How did Barnes Wallace backspin bouncing bomb?
Barnes Wallis developed a backspin mechanism for the bouncing bomb by attaching a backspin generator to the bomb to stabilize it during its approach towards the target. The backspin created lift and allowed the bomb to skip over the water's surface before reaching its target, increasing the chances of breaching a dam.
Who created he bouncing bomb?

How does the bouncing bombs work?
Bouncing bombs are specially designed to skip across the water before hitting their target. They are typically dropped from an aircraft at a precise height and speed to achieve the desired skipping effect, allowing them to reach their target even if it is protected by underwater obstacles or defenses. This bouncing technique increases the likelihood of the bomb hitting its intended target with greater accuracy and impact.
