Original pictures, video and Microsoft Flight Simulator segments were compiled to remember and honor the crews of the Lancaster bomber aircraft. This period of time from 1942-1945 shaped history and the way we live.
Estimates of 55,000 to 60,000 crew never saw the end of WWII. This staggering figure represents the combined efforts from British, Commonwealth and Dominion aircrews. In addition to England, Canada and Australia, dedicated aircrews from Scotland, Wales, Ireland, New Zealand, South Africa, Barbados and Trinidad all contributed to the success of the Lancaster (often referred to as the "Lanc").

Wonderfully produced piece. We seem to share a passion in preserving these stories.
I used to play the earlier Microsoft European Theatre, and the much older Microprose EAW.
Nice Job LCDoering!
