Perhaps the He111 did drop a respectable amount of bombs etc. and I concede that both the He111 and Ju88 were the backbone of the German Bomber Force, in fact they were excellent aircraft to fly and loved by their crews- the Ju88 was fast too, and multi-role; BUT, collectively, RAF Bomber Command dropped nearly 500,000 Tons of bombs on Germany from October 1942 to March 1945 , and the Lancaster being the main production bomber over that period, it has to be the Best Bomber of the War. The B17 was a fine aircraft , and in no way do I negate the job they did, or the B24 for that matter, but the 8th AF didn't come near the tonnage dropped by RAF. In fact , the Allies couldn't have done it without the USAAF involvement - Where Germany bombed Britain first by day, they got shredded in the BoB, so they turned to night-bombing and it wasn't a large volume of bombs dropped- RAF Nightfighters made it difficult for them, Dr. R.V. Jones figured-out how to bend their 'KNICKLEBEIN' beam radar bombing-aid, so they shifted to fast bombers like Ju88's, Fw190's etc.-'sneak-raiders'- but eventually Germany was on the defence, their Nightfighter Force trying to cope with 1000+ RAF Bomber-raids.... So Lancaster IT IS !
