The Lancaster Bomber. This photo was taken in January of 2006 at the IWM Duxford Air Museum (http://duxford.iwm.org.uk/) with my Nikon CoolPix.
To fly on a bomber crew in WWII you pretty much needed balls of pure steel. Losses were high and there was little support from the public because Londeners were all-too familiar with effects of being bombed.
Bombers were a necessary evil and some of the most beautiful air craft of the era.
