The second of Britain's four-engined bombers to enter frontline service, Handley Page's Halifax has forever lived in the shadow of Avro's superb Lancaster. However, it was a Halifax which became the first RAF 'heavy' to drop bombs on Germany when No 35 Sqn raided Hamburg on the night of 12/13 March 1941. Between 1941-45, the Halifax completed some 75,532 sorties with Bomber Command alone [compared with the Lancaster's 156,000], not to mention its sterling work as both a glider tug and paratroop carrier with the Airborne Forces, maritime patrol mount with Coastal Command and covert intruder with the SOE.

Handley Page's Halifax was the first RAF "heavy" bomber to drop bombs on Germany in 1941. The detailed text explains tactics used by the crews for their raids over Europe, North Africa and maritime patrol and paratrooping work. There are scale drawings of all the major Halifax bomber variants.
