Description
The Lancaster Story: True Tales of Britain's Legendary Bomber The Avro Lancaster, Britain's most successful Royal Air Force bomber of the Second World War, played a pivotal role in the Allied fight against Nazi Germany. With over 150,000 sorties and 600,000 tons of explosives dropped, the Lancaster was the workhorse of the RAF's bomber corps, featuring on some of the most daring and celebrated missions of the war. The Lancaster's story is one of sacrifice and heroism, as the aircraft took to the skies on countless sorties, often at great personal risk. This book tells the story of the men and women who flew, designed, constructed, and maintained the Lancaster, using archival documents, letters, and first-hand accounts to bring their stories to life. Through a gripping and panoramic narrative, The Lancaster Story paints a complete portrait of the battle over Europe and the Lancaster's unique and decisive role in it.
