Скачать или смотреть Malton's Lancaster Factory: How 9,521 Canadians Built 430 Bombers That Flew Over Germany

In the heart of Malton, Ontario—just outside Toronto—9,521 Canadians helped build something the world still struggles to fully appreciate: 430 Avro Lancaster bombers (Lancaster Mark X) that would cross the Atlantic and fly combat missions over Germany. This documentary-style story follows the Victory Aircraft Limited factory floor: the heat, the noise, the brutal inspections, and the relentless pace that eventually reached one Lancaster per day.

You’ll hear how civilians—farmhands, clerks, teachers, machinists—became riveters, welders, electricians, and inspectors overnight, and why quality control at Malton rejected parts that looked “fine” by civilian standards. We also spotlight the women who made up roughly a quarter of the workforce, mastering tools and tolerances that left no room for error when seven crew lives depended on every weld, wire, and rivet.

From Packard-built Merlin engines to the fate of KB700 “Ruhr Express”, and the legacy that lives on through surviving aircraft like FM213, this is a WWII home-front story about discipline, precision, and responsibility—built in Canada, tested in the skies over Europe.
