ON THE COVER:

Avro Lancaster B1PA474, of the Royal Air Force Battle of Britain Memorial Flight, descends on the camera of John Dibbs with bomb bay doors open, just as it would have 80 years ago over the skies of Axisoccupied Europe. This is one of only two airworthy Lancasters in the world and is painted to represent a 460 Squadron RAAF aircraft that flew with the unit in 1943. (Photo by John Dibbs/Facebook.com/theplanepicture)
