Ton-up Lancs is a welcome reassessment of a study which first appeared under the ' Claims to Fame' series. Since that publication years ago, information & photographs continued to be sent to, researched & collected by the author, so much so that a complete revision was necessary, with a new 100-sortie aircraft added to the list, & with many more photographs of the aircraft & men who flew in these very special Avro Lancs. Each aircraft history is recorded, supported by stories from aircrew that flew them, along with what happened to them once-or-if- they survived.
