TEXTS / NOTES / OTHER DETAILS:
The Avro Lancaster is a British Second World War heavy bomber.
It was designed and manufactured by Avro as
a contemporary of the Handley Page Halifax,
both bombers having been developed to the same specification,
as well as the Short Stirling,
all three aircraft being four-engined heavy bombers
adopted by the Royal Air Force (RAF) during the same wartime era.
The Lancaster has its origins in the twin-engine Avro Manchester
which had been developed during the late 1930s
in response to the Air Ministry Specification
P.13/36 for a medium bomber for “world-wide use”
which could carry a torpedo internally,
and make shallow dive-bombing attacks.
Originally developed as an evolution of the Manchester
(which had proved troublesome in service
and was retired in 1942),
the Lancaster was designed by Roy Chadwick
and powered by four Rolls-Royce Merlins
and in one of the versions, Bristol Hercules engines.
It first saw service with RAF Bomber Command in 1942
and as the strategic bombing offensive
over Europe gathered momentum,
it was the main aircraft for the night-time bombing campaigns that followed.
As increasing numbers of the type were produced,
it became the principal heavy bomber used by the RAF,
the Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF)
and squadrons from other Commonwealth
and European countries serving within the RAF,
overshadowing the Halifax and Stirling,
two other commonly used bombers.
