The Lancaster Bomber tells how, as Bomber Command’s most destructive weapon, it went on to become instrumental in the defeat of Nazi Germany during the second world war.
Reliable, versatile and readily available, the Avro Lancaster’s arrival in 1942 made way for a new calibre of the four-engined bomber that would become Bomber Command’s primary weapon during WWII.
Using original wartime footage and recent colour film of one of the few operational Lancaster’s remaining in the world, this programme tells the entire story of the Lancaster from its early days to now.
The Lancaster Bomber airs Tuesday 27 November at 7.30pm on History or watch On Demand
