Thirty five (35) Avro Lancaster's completed 100 operations or more during the War.
Anyone know how many other types of bombers flew 100 missions or more? Any nationality.

The RAF Bomber Command aircraft with the most operational missions was Mosquito Mk BIX LR503 of 109 and 105 squadrons with 213 missions to it's credit.
The aircraft was tragically lost in an airshow accident in Canada in May 1945.
