- De Lancaster is een 4-motorige zware bommenwerper uit de Tweede Wereldoorlog. De Lancaster werd vooral door de Britse luchtmacht gebruikt. Het toestel is onder andere bekend in een omgebouwde versie die gebruikt werd om stuiterbommen op Duitse stuwdammen te droppen. De bemanningen die deze ontzettend lastige klus hebben geklaard, werden bekend als "Dambusters".
- The Avro Lancaster was a Heavy Bomber designed and manufactured by Avro.
- The Lancaster was Britain's premier bomber during World War II. Most British bombers were destroyed during the opening attacks of the Race Invasion, including those participating in the thousand bomber raid over Cologne. A few daring pilots staged attacks against Race ground forces and even starships before going down themselves. George Bagnall was a Lancaster pilot who survived the downing of his craft and spent the war in Europe helping the Germans and Russians to oppose the Race.
- The Avro Lancaster is a British four-engined Second World War heavy bomber designed and built by Avro for the Royal Air Force (RAF). It first saw active service with RAF Bomber Command in 1942 and, as the strategic bombing offensive over Europe gathered momentum, it became the main heavy bomber used by the RAF, the RCAF, and squadrons from other Commonwealth and European countries serving within the RAF, overshadowing its close contemporaries the Handley Page Halifax and Short Stirling. The "Lanc", as it was affectionately known, thus became the most famous and most successful of the Second World War night bombers, "delivering 608,612 long tons of bombs in 156,000 sorties."
- The first production model of the series was the Mk I, also originally designated the Manchester Mk III.The Lancaster was powered by 4 Rolls-Royce Merlin engines and could normally hold up to 6,300 kg of bombs. For its own defense, the aircraft was usually armed with 8 Browning M1919 machine guns - two each in nose and dorsal turrets, and four in the tail turret.
