About this product

Product Information

The Avro Lancaster, such a stalwart of the skies during the Second World War, also enjoyed a colourful and exciting post-war career. It is this era that the authors have chosen to focus on here, profiling the aircraft type across its many variants. Split into three primary sections, this book offers a concise yet informative history of the Avro Lancaster's post-war operational career (from 1945-1964) charting the course of all the various design improvements that occurred across this time-frame and including a selection of contemporary photographs with detailed captions. A 16-page colour illustration section also features, profiling 48 separate aircraft (in profiles and 2-views). A model-making section completes this publication, offering exciting new instructional content. As with the other books in the Flight Craft series, whilst published primarily with the scale aircraft modeller in mind, it is hoped that those readers who might perhaps describe themselves as 'occasional' modellers - if indeed they model at all - may also find that this colourful and informative work offers something to provoke their interests too. AUTHOR: Neil Robinson is a respected aviation historian and author, who has worked on a number of related projects over the years. This book represents a contribution to the Flight Craft series, marking the beginning of a new strand of his career. Amongst others, he is the author of 'RAF Trainers - 1918-1945: Camouflage and Markings', and 'r War Over the Falklands'. Martin Derry has also worked extensively in the field of aviation publishing. He is the author of 'British Military Aviation: 1960s in Colour' and 'Hornet and Sea Hornet: De Havilland's Ultimate Piston-engined Fighter'. 180 photographs and 20 colour profiles
