The Avro Lancaster (1989) By Francis K. Mason
 
This book, the most extensive chronicle of a British bomber ever undertaken - of more than half a million words - describes how the Lancaster came into being and how it fulfilled the faith placed in it by those who planned it. This book is nothing short of a masterpiece. Thousands of hours of research make this really a labour of love. And a fitting tribute to those who designed, built and organised the service of the Lancaster and, above all, the young men who endured terrible conditions and lived and died in her. The Lancaster may not have won the war, yet, in the hands of those thousands of young men, it was Britain's single most important war-winning weapon.
