Handley Page Halifax in Canadian Service

{detailed description}The Handley Page Halifax, along with the Avro Lancaster and the Short Stirling, was one of the three heavy bombers employed by the Royal Air Force Bomber Command in its aerial offensive against the Axis in the Second World War. Although overshadowed by the legendary Lancaster, the Halifax played a major role in the night bombing campaign, in anti-submarine operations, meteorological reconnaissance, transport, and towing gliders in airborne operations. In all, over 6,000 Halifax aircraft were produced and these were flown in over 75,000 missions. It served from 1941 until finally retired in 1952.
A complete description of each version of the aircraft is presented, along with accurate multi-view line drawings and colour profiles. Scale drawings, photographs and information on model and accessory kits are included to aid modellers.
This book documents the development of the Halifax aircraft from its inception during the expansion of the RAF Bomber Command in the late 1930s until production ended in 1946. Its service with RCAF 6 Group of Bomber Command, and its operations with all 15 RCAF Squadrons is described, with representative photographs. The Halifax was the mainstay of these squadrons from 1942 to the end of the war in night bombing and mine laying operations.
