Description

Many of the modifications and innovations that were introduced on the Manchester went on to be part of the mighty Lancaster, and this book is excellent in identifying and explaining them all. If you have even a passing interest in the Avro Lancaster then this is definitely a book for you. Although badly let down by its Rolls-Royce Vulture engines, the Manchester was nevertheless a very modern design for its day and deserves its place on the bookshelf and, hopefully one day, on a modelling bench as well. ‍As always with this series, there are some superb high-res images throughout the book and the publishers have pulled out the shadow detail to really highlight the small vents and aerials that have been overlooked since WW2. ‍This book contains approx 120 original wartime/pre-war photos and 6 in-depth colour profiles
