A total of 7,377 Lancaster bombers were built during World War II. The aircraft, developed by Avro, served primarily with the Royal Air Force and became one of the most iconic heavy bombers of the war. Production of the Lancaster began in 1941 and continued until 1946, with the aircraft playing a significant role in various bombing campaigns, including the famous Dambuster raids.
The two successful four-engine bombers were: 1. The Handley Page Halifax (entered service in 1941) 2. The AVRO Lancaster (entered since in 1942).

If the question is asking about the V bombers operated by Great Britain during the Cold War, there were three types; the Valiant, the Victor, and the Vulcan. Sorry, I do not know how many of each were built.
Of the hundreds of designs built; only one was designed specifically to destroy the A6M Zero; the US Navy's F6F Hellcat. Germans used Fokkers the British and Canadians used Sopwith Camels. In the Second World War some famous planes were: British:Spitfire, Hurricane (fighters) Lancaster bombers; German: Messerschmitt and Focke-Wulf fighters; Stuka dive-bombers; Japanese: Zero fighters; American: Flying Fortress and Liberator bombers; P 51 Mustang

Most WW2 bombers were very well built and robust aircraft. Certainly the ones that carried out major bombings, the Lancaster, Halifax, Fortress, Liberator, and the smaller Marauder, Mosquito, and Beaufort were great aircraft.
No stealth bombers are on order. They already built all the Air Force could afford.
