Hullo chaps,
Though you might enjoy this link at Vintage Wings of Canada: A Terrifying Beauty – the Art of Piotr Forkasiewicz
The article includes some moving accounts of losses suffered by Bomber Command Lancs. The accompanying artwork - made using a CG model of the Lanc - is quite remarkable and kept me engrossed as my cup of tea grew cold! Here's a single example:
Lots more incredibly powerful images at the link above, along with some more technical pictures of the same project at the CG Society website. Now, I wonder if we'll ever be able to fly something like this in a home PC sim: there's a rather nice 'virtual cockpit' towards the end of the article! (Yeah - I can dream! )
Cheers,
Nick (with apologies if this has already been posted - not sure how old the article is.)

That's some find!
I can understand your tea going cold; I couldn't leave the screen.
