Aviation Classics Bookazine - Description
This publication is dedicated to the much-loved Avro
Lancaster. Highlights include original manuscripts, log book entries and
personal diary records which have been used to recount the crew’s amazing tales,
allowing the reader to experience life aboard the infamous
Lancaster.
Included are words from Guy Gibson, the famous founder
Commanding Officer of 617 Squadron, and Les Munro, the last surviving pilot of
the ‘Dams’ raid. It is filled with the heart-rending stories
and trials and tribulations of what has been described as the greatest single
factor in winning the war, the Avro Lancaster.
With an innovative mix of top quality articles and rare wartime colour
photography, plus modern air-to-airs and shots taken on board during flight, the
Avro Lancaster bookazine also emphasises how the world’s only two airworthy
examples continue to honour the bravery and sacrifice of those who flew and
maintained it – and still fly in the memory of the more than 55,000 Bomber
Command aircrew who were lost on operations.
Editor of Aviation Classics is Jarrod Cotter, a well respected and
established author. Jarrod, who has had a fascination for military aircraft for
as long as he can remember, brings a wealth of expertise, knowledge and
enthusiasm.
