Designed as an improvement of the Manchester—used primarily as a night bomber—the British Avro Lancaster was first flown on January 9th, 1941. With four Rolls-Royce Merlin engines, a top speed of 287 mph and a range of 1,660 miles, the Lancaster’s seven-man crew could deliver a knockout punch. This aircraft carried the largest bomb of any in the war and was armed with eight defensive machine guns: two in the nose, two in a top turret and four in a quad assembly tail turret. For dam-busting strikes, the Lancaster dropped “bouncing bombs,” which skipped on the surface before impact. © Copyright 2003-2009 The Flying Mule, Inc.
