This photo-history looks back at an aircraft that became an icon of
British strategic air-power during the Second World War and
contributed heavily to the securing of the Allied victory. The
ultimate British aerial strategic asset, the Avro Lancaster has
endured as a legendary icon of British strategic airpower. Tough,
rugged, and able to perform effectively at high altitudes, the
Lancaster proved to fit the RAF's need for a heavy, high-altitude
bomber. From the risky, initial daylight bombing missions over
Europe to the fire-bombing of German cities, Dam Buster Raids, and
sinking of the German Battleship Tirpitz, the Lancaster helped to
profoundly secure victory for the Allies in the Second World War.
Mark A. Chambers looks back over the fascinating story of Avro's
aircraft design philosophy and development, as well as its glorious
combat record and operational history in the post-war era.
