Description
The Lancaster Bomber Pocket Manual 1941-1945 by Martin Robson is a unique guide to one of the most famous aircraft of World War II. This pocket manual collates authentic period sources, including pilot's notes and Air Ministry publications, providing a detailed insight into the wartime operation of the Avro Lancaster. Used predominantly at night, the Lancaster dropped 608,612 tons of bombs in 156,000 sorties between 1942 and 1945. The aircraft's success was due to its rugged reliability and the bravery and skill of its crew members. This manual supplements the training and experience of its crew with various pamphlets and manuals produced throughout the war. With illustrative plans and diagrams, this pocket manual offers a fascinating look at the Lancaster's operation during World War II.
