Description: During the war years the Halifax flew 75,532 bombing sorties over Germany, dropping over 227,610 tons of bombs. In total 6,176 Halifax machines were built, undergoing continuous development and improvement through the years. Post war, it operated on Transport and Coastal Command duties, and served in Europe, the Middle East, and India before finally leaving RAF service in 1953. The Halifax was a much-loved aircraft by the crews who flew in it, as it was able to absorb considerable battle damage and still manage to bring airmen safely back home; it had the highest survival rate for aircrew. Within these pages Ken Merrick has written an immense study of the impressive HandleyPage Halifax, setting out to prove that the type, for its time, was a bomber ‘second to none.’ This detailed work is the fruit of many years of research, including much new information about the development, design and service of the aircraft, and will be essential reading for aviation modelers and historians worldwide.
