书籍简介

阿弗罗·兰开斯特轰炸机是二战期间英国皇家空军的主力四引擎轰炸机。其卓越的设计、整体性能和强大的载弹量，是成功对希特勒的工业和军事基地进行夜间轰炸的关键因素。

兰开斯特轰炸机能够携带高达16,000磅的炸药和燃烧弹，专业的兰开斯特轰炸机还能投掷12,000磅的“高脚杯”炸弹和22,000磅的“大满贯”炸弹，摧毁关键目标。

兰开斯特轰炸机也出现在1955年的英国经典电影《轰炸鲁尔水坝记》（The Dam Busters）中，该片讲述了1943年5月发生在德国鲁尔河谷的著名低空轰炸行动。

到战争结束时，超过60个中队装备了兰开斯特轰炸机，这充分证明了它在英国皇家空军进攻行动中的卓越地位。 《战争传奇》系列的一部分。

The Avro Lancaster was the Royal Air Force's main four-engine bomber in World War II. Its superb design, overall performance, and load-carrying capacity proved key factors in successfully prosecuting the nocturnal bombing offensive against Hitler's industrial and military base.

With its ability to carry up to 16,000 pounds in explosives and incendiaries, specialist Lancasters could also deliver the 12,000-pound “Tallboy” and 22,000-pound “Grand Slam” bombs, which took out key targets.

The Lancaster was also featured in the classic 1955 British film The Dam Busters, the story of the famed May 1943 low-level bombing raid in Germany's Ruhr River valley.

By the end of the war, upward of sixty squadrons operated the Lancaster, demonstrating clear proof of its preeminent presence within the RAF's offensive. Part of the Legends of Warfare series.
