The British Avro Aircraft Company made most Lancaster bombers.- Possibly the greatest bomber of WW2. -With all due respect to the B-17, the Lancaster was just as tough, flew just as far, and carried twice the bomb load. - It was built at Chadderton near Manchester, at two plants near Birmingham and also in Canada by Avro Canada. A total of 7,377 Lancasters were built, many being flown by Canadian crews. After the war, it's basic design continued on into the Shackleton maritime bomber which served in the RAF until the 1970's.
