Love seeing the interviews with old-timers, as well as the new footage of a Lancaster flying in various historical locations. I also liked that the film highlights some of the less famous exploits along with those that caught the public eye.
There's not a ton of technical detail about the bomber, though they do cover its Manchester progenitor and how it came about.
The film covers the controversial aspects of the bombing campaign without losing sight of the realities of the time, or failing to honor the men who risked life and limb to fly the missions.
Only roughly 4 out of 10 survived the experience unscathed, making it one the most dangerous things you could do during the war.
Extremely well done. A must for any one with the slightest interest and it would benefit just about anyone.
