EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the moment of takeoff for a Lancaster bomber, one of the 7378 aircraft built by Avro during World War II. The Lancaster, with the distinctive insignia of the Royal Air Force (RAF) emblazoned on its wings, is seen taxing along the runway before lifting off into the night sky. With a maximum speed of 462 km/h, the Lancaster was the most successful heavy night bomber used by the RAF during the war. Its powerful four-engine design, each with three propellers, enabled it to carry a large bomb load and provide effective defensive armament, with gun pods and turrets. The Lancaster played a crucial role in the strategic bombing campaign against Germany, with its ability to carry large bombs over long distances and in adverse weather conditions. The City of Lincoln, depicted in this image, is just one example of the many targets attacked by Lancaster bombers between 1942 and 1945. This photograph is a testament to the bravery and determination of the RAF aircrews who flew these iconic aircraft, and to the vital role they played in the outcome of the war.
