Phantom of the Ruhr by Nicolas Trudgian features the famous 121 mission Lancaster.
The ‘Phantom’ first flew operationally with 100 Squadron in June 1943. She left the Squadron in November with 30 operations recorded on her side and in that same month she was transferred to the newly formed 550 Squadron at North Killingholme.
On the 5th September 1944 she became the first Lancaster of 550 Squadron to reach 100 missions and on the 21st November she flew her last sortie with the squadron, her incredible record stands at 121 operational sorties and 830 operational flying hours. As a testament to the bravery of all Bomber Command Aircrew the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight Lancaster carries the codes of the Phantom of the Ruhr.
