Avro Lancaster Blank Birthday Greeting Card by Keith Woodcock
As dawn breaks a solitary
Lancaster of 15 Squadron struggles home to its base at Mildenhall, Suffolk on
three engines after suffering flak damage on a night mission in 1944. Probably
the most famous heavy bomber of WWII, Lancasters dropped over 600,000 tons of bombs
during the war and had their load progressively increased. First flown in 1941
and powered by four Rolls Royce Merlin engines, 7,377 were produced with the
last leaving RAF service in 1954.
