The Halifax became the second of the new generation of four-engine heavy bombers to enter service with RAF Bomber Command in the Second World War. The Halifax flew on virtually all the main raids of the night offensive between 1942 and 1945 and the last occasion when Bomber Command Halifaxes operated in strength against the enemy was on 25 April 1945.

To bad there is no flying example of this bomber E Bay Z1 To bad there is no flying example of this bomber, it would be nice to see it against the Lancaster and to here the difference with the Hercules radial vs. the Merlin. A good book on a little known plane for those living in the states. Nice to have two examples, one restored and the other not, to see.
