Britain's WWII strategic bomber the Avro Lancaster only had one pilot. Yet it flew missions over 8 hours long. How did a single pilot manage by themselves over such a long time?
I recently found out the British Avro Lancaster only had a single pilot at the controls with a flight engineer sitting next to him who had no flight controls. The Lancaster would perform long range, strategic bombing from England against Germany especially at night with missions that ran long for over 8 hours. How did a single pilot with no modern autopilot (meaning hand flying the entire time) manage such long missions? What happened when the pilot needed to relieve themselves, or eat, or got tired? And finally, do we have any sense for how many losses of Lancasters were caused purely due to pilot fatigue?
