Often referred to as the “finest heavy bomber” used by either side in World War II, the Avro Lancaster was a British creation crucial to the Allied Forces in blitzing German positions. Lancasters were credited with dropping more than 600,000 tons of high explosives and more than 51 million incendiaries. The aircraft could reach a maximum speed of 287 mph, was equipped with eight 7.7 mm machine-guns, and could carry nearly 40,000 pounds of bomb-load.
Designed as an improvement over the Manchester and 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. The Lancaster carried the largest bomb of any other WWII aircraft and was armed with eight defensive machine guns—two in the nose, two in the top turret and four in the tail turret. For dam-busting strikes, the Lancaster dropped “bouncing bombs,” which skipped on the surface before impact. © Copyright 2003-2010 The Flying Mule, Inc.
