Barnes Wallis
Sir Barnes Neville Wallis, CBE FRS, RDI, FRAeS (26 September 1887 – 30 October 1979), was an English scientist, engineer and inventor. He is best known for inventing the bouncing bomb used by the Royal Air Force in Operation Chastise (the "Dambusters" raid) to attack the dams of the Ruhr Valley during World War II. The raid was the subject of the 1955 film ''The Dam Busters'', in which Wallis was played by Michael Redgrave. Among his other inventions were the geodetic airframe and the earthquake bomb.

Barnes Wallis was born in Ripley, Derbyshire and educated at Christ's Hospital in Horsham and Haberdashers' Aske's Hatcham Boys' Grammar School〔http://discovery.nationalarchives.gov.uk/details/rd/1426051a-8a33-4868-a618-8f02f19b169f〕 in South East London, leaving school at seventeen to start work in January 1905 at Thames Engineering Works at Blackheath, southeast London. He subsequently changed his apprenticeship to J. Samuel White's, the shipbuilders based at Cowes on the Isle of Wight. He originally trained as a marine engineer and in 1922 he took a degree in engineering via the University of London External Programme.
He left J. Samuel White's in 1913 when an opportunity arose for him to work on airship design and then aircraft design. He worked for Vickers - later part of Vickers-Armstrongs and latterly part of the British Aircraft Corporation until his retirement in 1971.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.manitobamilitaryaviationmuseum.com/PDF/BarnseWallis.pdf )〕
