The Avro Lancaster took the RAF's bombing campaign right to the heart of Nazi Germany, night after night, despite suffering appalling losses. Without the Lancaster, RAF Bomber Command's offensive against Germany would not have had the devastating and controversial impact that it achieved. The unique airframe, with one continuous bomb bay and four powerful Rolls-Royce Merlin engines, allowed the Lancaster to carry a variety of bomb loads.
Illustrated with over 250 The speed, agility and bomb-carrying capacity of this bomber allowed it to destroy targets ranging from hardened-concrete submarine pens and reservoir dams to railway marshalling yards and factories producing vital military hardware.This book is both the story of the Lancaster and that of its seven-man crews: pilot, bomb aimer/nose gunner, wireless operator, flight engineer, navigator and mid-upper and rear gunners.
