HANDLEY PAGE HALIFAX: Second World War Strategic Bomber

Comprehensive assessment of the aircraft, covering its design, production, testing, and RAF service, both as a bomber and in its other roles. Developed to the same specification as the Lancaster's predecessor, the Avro Manchester, and suffered similar engine-related issues. After the engine change in 1943, the Halifax became a valued and reliable stablemate of the Lancaster, equipping two major Bomber Command Groups, including Canadian squadrons, and specializing in glider towing and maritime reconnaissance. Contains 269 mono illustrations.
