The Lancaster at War: Directed by Stephen Saunders. With Struan Rodger, John Anderson, Jim Berry, Ron Clark. The incredible story of the Avro Lancaster, one of the finest bombers of the Second World War, which played a crucial role in the long and savage campaign to defeat Hitler’s Third Reich. This documentary features interviews with surviving veterans of Bomber Command, who share frank personal accounts of their part in an aerial battle of attrition which claimed the lives of 55’000 aircrew.
“Fascinating account of the design and strategic performance of the Lancaster bomber. Unfortunately, some of the details feel a bit rushed and sketchy, but worth a watch nonetheless.”
