AVRO LANCASTER: THE DEFINITIVE RECORD

by Harry Holmes

Published by Airlife Publishing Ltd. 1st. 1997

Nearly fine condition in a nearly fine dustwrapper. Although much has been written about Britain's most famous World War Two bomber, the constant research that a large number of Lancaster enthusiasts carry out, is continually leading to new information. In this book, the author, an ex-Avro employee, has gathered much newly discovered detail and blended it with his own extensive historical archives to create a most informative record. Large format. Blue cloth boards, gilt title to spine. B/w photos and drawings. 253 pages.

Price-cut pictorial dustwrapper.
