Mynarski's Lanc

The fascinating stories of two Canadian Lancaster bombers -- KB726 and FM213 -- and their crew. Andrew Mynarski earned his Victoria Cross in KB726, now known as the Mynarski Memorial Lancaster. The book contains special documentation of the nine-year restoration program for Lancaster FM213, the only flying example of this aircraft in North America.

At an early age Bette Page was fascinated by the Lancaster bombers she watched leaving in formation, and she admired the courage of the crews who flew them knowing that rarely did all squadron aircraft return. Later, she experienced first-hand this hard fact of war when, while serving in a Pathfinder squadron, after having completed two tours of operations, her fiancé was posted missing and eventually confirmed killed in action.

Bette is a member of the Canadian Warplane Heritage Museum and assisted her husband, Ron, in the writing of a number of books on aircraft history.
