  • You are absolutely wrong........ the Lancaster is of all metal construction....I've read 100s of book about Lancs have looked all over them and have sat in the pilots seat of one...and i assure you they are all metal.

  • Naration sucked !

  • @papayankee69 Well said my son.

  • this thing carried a 20000 pound bomb into germany

  • @Ichantyr Do you know exactly where his plane went down?

  • 3:08

    Looks like a Martin B-26 Marauder.

  • Just watched the Myarski Lanc fly over my house here in Calgary about an hour ago - wasn't expecting it - was only about 200 ft. overhead - the ground shook! How cool!!

  • @Tabby266 Actually the Lancaster MKX did have a belly turret and the bulged bomb bay. The real advantage over US bombers was the huge bomb capacity (14,000lb over the same distance the B-17 could carry 4-5000lb) and the fact that the Lancaster as for the Halifax only required 1 pilot. All US bombers carried 2. The UK bombers used the Flight Engineer to perform all co-pilot duties.

  • @Aussiephil99 The mosquito wasn't metal. The skin was Birch and Spruce plywood and was reported to be difficult to pick up on the Wurtzburg and Freya radars.
