This recent Images of War title takes an interesting look at the famous Lancaster. As it tells us in the introduction, I think it is quite thought provoking that of 7,366 Lancasters that were built, only 35 made it to the magic figure of 100 missions. To reach this figure took longer than you might have thought, but it also gives a good indication of the loss rates suffered by Bomber Command, and the odds that were against the 7-man aircrews who manned each Lancaster.
...
It is an interesting story and great to have a collective record of these 35 aircraft and the crews who flew them. For the modeller, you will also find some useful reference detail for the aircraft themselves, as well as uniforms and ground equipment that was used around the aircraft.

[i]Bomber Offensive[/i] is a book all students of World War II and airpower simply must read. Compared to the memoirs of contemporaries such as Alexander, Montgomery, Slim, and Cunningham, page after page of Harris' book reverberates with ferocious, uncompromising blasts. Whether these prove Harris was always as right as he believed, or even that he was correct in his single-minded pursuit of area bombing, is best left to the reader to decide.
