| Perhaps the world's best known heavy bomber of
the Second World War, The charismatic Lancaster embodies all the might, stamina
and daring of the big bombing raids of the European theatre. Mass formations of
this remarkable machine were seen nightly leaving their airfields in England for
targets deep inside enemy territory.
The level of detail in this package has only previously been
seen in flight simulation expansions of complex modern airliners. A huge amount
of historical research has been undertaken and virtual pilots can now leave
their beautifully modeled cockpits and choose to sit in other parts of the
aircraft. The alternative positions are from the viewpoint of the bomb aimer,
air gunner, navigator and wireless operator. Superb
