It was this plane along with the Halifax, that truly carried Britian's night bombing campaign to the Germans during that war. Surprisingly, and much of this thanks to its post war usefulness, there are over a dozen aircraft still surviving in museums today. Some of these are silent static displays, some are functional though not flying, a couple are airborne from time to time and some are in the Avro Lancaster: The Survivors of restoration. This new book from Mushroom Model Publications looks at all seventeen extant airframes. It provides a basic history of each aircraft and Avro Lancaster: The Survivors it came to be where it is. It probably isn't surprising that the majority of these planes were build in and did not see operational use during the war. These planes survived because they were low airframe hours aircraft and were able to see post-war use with either Canada or France. These images are, for the most part, in full color. The interior images are probably the most interesting as some have been restored to WWII standards or as near to them as possible, while others have been left as they were when procured and some have been modified for seating or are still somewhat vandalized. In all, it is a superb look at these old veterans and is an absolute must read for any Lancaster or war bird enthusiast. Their books are printed in Sandomierz Poland by their associate Stratus Publications in the English language. Stratus also does books in the Polish language too.

Essential reading for all who love this amazing aircraft, especially those who cannot afford a round-the-world ticket to see them all. The book has great interior and exterior shots of these Lancasters. Which will Avro Lancaster: The Survivors of enormous help to modelers of this aircraft. This title from MMP will prove to be an invaluable reference — probably the best available to scale modellers anywhere in the world! Go on then…guess, how many? Five, maybe even six? Guess again… no less than 17 survivors. It is unfortunate that of the 17, Lancasters built only this Avro Lancaster: The Survivors survive — there was little appetite after WWII for aircraft preservation when most people wanted to get on and put the war behind them. Images of the aircraft in service and after are joined by the comprehensive Avro Lancaster: The Survivors photos of their current state. These Avro Lancaster: The Survivors all aspects of their airframes and highlight the superb restoration work seen on them. I particularly like the chapter layout, working through each country that still has an airframe and dealing with all that reside there. You can read all you need to know from you favourite chair. Indeed, this good book will appeal to many beyond the scale modelling fraternity — those with a general interest in aviation, military history and of course, all who have had anything at all to do with the Lanc. With so many decent scale models of the Avro Lancaster available from Tamiya, Hasegawa and Revell and Airfix all you need to get started is a good quality reference. Increasingly we are being treated to really excellent one-stop shop reference works and this just went up by one. I was very excited to have the opportunity to review this title. I am very fortunate to have two of these featured Lancasters in my own back yard. Also my inlaws live in southern Alberta and we visit them once or twice a month, highway 2 takes me thru the heart of Nanton and the Nanton Lancaster Society's FM page 41 almost fully operational Lancaster MK X. So I have had the opportunity to climb inside and see the inside Avro Lancaster: The Survivors this magnificant beast. Also during the contest the Society rolls the Lanc outside and fires up the two starboard engines hopefully Avro Lancaster: The Survivors June 4 the inner port will also be running. The sound of those merlins running is breath taking and you have to fight back the emotions. The pictures show them in their wartime livery, post war livery and in their present states. Photos include details of each Lancs interior with each Lancs distinct uniqueness. Each Lanc has its own unique history including where they were made, the units they served in, and story on how they ended up in their present homes. The photos are printed on glossy paper and are very clear with loads of detail which is perfect for the super detailer out there. All in all there are pages of Lancaster nervana. So if you have a soft spot for the Lanc you will not be disappointed, I would like to thank IPMS reviewers corps and especially Mushroom Model Publications for the review sample. Advantages: Covers all seventeen surviving Lancasters, with interesting and well-written text and excellent photography. Possibly of more interest to historians and aircraft enthusiasts rather than modellers, unless they wish to model one of the museum aircraft in which case there Avro Lancaster: The Survivors many interesting interior shots to help them.
