7,377 Lancasters were built across two continents of which 4128 survived the hostilities

Wow, that's a pretty good record for a strategic bomber, right?

In Tuscon, AZ, I believe you can still talk to Richard Bushong at the 390th Memorial Museum within the Pima Air and Space Museum on Thursdays. He was a B-17 pilot who made it home, although none of the aircraft he flew ended up surviving. He has some great stories. He's pushing almost 100 years old now but he's the type that will still volunteer to talk to people about it until he can't talk anymore.
