| Movie NationRoger MooreLancaster briskly covers a lot of ground, making it a most watchable overview of a subject that whole documentary series and a library’s worth of books have been devoted to. And it’s a valuable document as well, getting many of these survivors on film one last time as they remember the context, the stakes and the deadly work they volunteered to do the last time the world faced a global threat from fascist totalitarianism. |
| The GuardianCath ClarkeThe film is expertly bolted together from archive newsreels, snippets of classic war movies and interviews with surviving airmen. |
| The Observer (UK)Wendy IdePart oral history, part archive, this is a thoroughly researched account of the role of the Lancaster bomber in the second world war. It’s solid, no frills film-making, but that’s entirely appropriate given the sobering stories recounted by surviving members of Bomber Command, now in their 90s. |
