General Characteristics

The Avro Lincoln was a British four-engined heavy bomber developed from the highly successful Avro Lancaster to meet Air Ministry Specification B.14/43 for a high-altitude, long-range bomber. Initially designated the Lancaster Mk IV and Mk V, the differences in its enlarged fuselage and longer, stronger wings led to it being given the new name Avro Lincoln. The Lincoln II variant was the main production model, serving as the last piston-engined bomber operated by the Royal Air Force (RAF). Although designed to participate in the final stages of the war against Japan as part of the “Tiger Force,” the war ended before it saw combat, leaving it as a primary RAF bomber throughout the 1950s.
