Product Description
Product Description
The legendary Avro Lancaster receives the famous Haynes manual treatment with the full co-operation and authorisation of the Royal Air Force. Here is a unique insight into what it takes to restore and operate a Lancaster, as well as a wonderful insight into the engineering and construction of this remarkable aeroplane. Presented mainly in colour, this highly detailed and attractively designed book is based primarily around the major overhaul of the Battle of Britain Flight Lancaster at RAF Coningsby.
About the Author
Jarrod Cotter is Deputy Editor of Flypast magazine and has flown in both the airworthy Lancasters in existence. Paul Blackah is Chief Technician at the RAF's Battle of Britain Memorial Flight, responsible for overseeing the engineering and maintenance work on the Flight's Lancaster. Both authors live in Lincolnshire.

Format:Hardcover
I stumbled upon this, purely by accident, when searching for Lancaster Bomber items, as my dad use to be an RAF Engineer during the Second World War. He would always tell us stories about them and his time in the Air Force and what he had to do. He spoke proudly of his involvement, despite wanting to actually be a fighter pilot, but he didn't speak the correct way... don't you know, gafaw ;)
I have flicked through the book and know that I will want to read it too. Not only has it got the break down of it's construction and the maintenance they use to do, but there are sections on the history of the aircraft, how to fly it and the duties of those involved, even a section on how much it costs to run and service today. It's full of beautiful photographs, black and white from the period they were flying and colour ones of the restoration process and of it flying or on the ground. There are illustrations of bomb bay configurations, detailed engineering and pictorial sketches.
This is a book for any lover of the buy gone age of prop driven war planes and the history that goes with them. Also it's surely a must as a present to anyone who flew in them, built them or carried out the maintenance on them.
Well done Haynes, am sure the other ones of the similar ilk are of the same wonderful standard. Thoroughly recommended!

Now, after so many other books on this subject I already have in my possession this one truly came as a surprise to me.
Lots of highly informative text and pictures in quite a different ''format''
Will also look nice in your book cabinet next to your bike and car manuals by the same publisher.
I also ordered this one on the Spitfire, just as good!

Lancaster manual
The book is most informative, so much so, I have placed an order for an airframe. Merlin engines are a little more troublesome, but I'm on the case!
