This recent Images of War title takes an interesting look at the famous Lancaster. As it tells us in the introduction, I think it is quite thought provoking that of 7,366 Lancasters that were built, only 35 made it to the magic figure of 100 missions. To reach this figure took longer than you might have thought, but it also gives a good indication of the loss rates suffered by Bomber Command, and the odds that were against the 7-man aircrews who manned each Lancaster.

It is an interesting story and great to have a collective record of these 35 aircraft and the crews who flew them. For the modeller, you will also find some useful reference detail for the aircraft themselves, as well as uniforms and ground equipment that was used around the aircraft.
