    Product 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.
