The Spitfire and the Lancaster were the two RAF weapons of victory
in the Second World War, but the glamour of the fighter has tended
to overshadow the performance of the heavy bomber. Yet without the
Lancaster, Britain would never have been able to take the fight to
the German homeland. Highlights the scale of the bomber's
achievements, including the famous Dambusters attacks. With its
vast bomb bay, ease of handling and surprising speed, the mighty
Lancaster transformed the effectiveness of the Bomber Command.
Whilst addressing the political controversy surrounding the bombing
offensive against Germany, Leo McKinstry also weaves individual
tales into this compelling narrative. Rich characters are brought
to life, such as Roy Chadwick the designer, who taught himself
engineering at night school and Sir Arthur Harris, the austere head
of the Bomber Command. This is a rich saga, a story of triumph over
disaster and the history of an iconic plane.
