	RCAF.com : The Aircraft : Handley-Page HALIFAX
		The Halifax unlike the Lancaster was called upon to serve in a variety of roles including glider towing, maritime patrol and casualty evacuation.
		The Halifax design stemmed from the same ministry request that produced the Avro Manchester.
		The Halifax was perhaps overshadowed by its larger cousin in Bomber Command, the Avro Lancaster, but many Canadian crews were more than satisfied with the aircraft type and the type was perhaps Canada's most important bomber in World War II.

		The Halifax was widely known as the "Halibag" by its crews.
		Attempts to improve the Halifax by streamlining the fuselage, engines, and other components were not entirely satisfactory, so it was decided to install more powerful Bristol Hercules engines.
		The Halifax was the only British heavy bomber that permanently operated from the Middle East, and it was also widely converted to act as a transport, glider tug, paratroop carrier, and electronic counter-measures aircraft.

	RAF History - Bomber Command 60th Anniversary
		The first Halifax took to the air on 25 October 1939 from the RAF airfield at Bicester but it was to be almost a year before the second aircraft flew (August 1940).
		This first series operations highlighted several weaknesses in the Halifax design, namely a lack of speed, and so Handley Page revised the design, removing the mid-upper turret and exhaust fairings to reduce drag as well as the nose turret which, it was deemed, was underused.
		With these improvements in place, the Halifax was a far more capable aircraft, and a Halifax became the first aircraft to carry a new bombing aid known as H2S in March 1942.

		It resulted in the Manchester, from which the Lancaster was derived, and the Handley Page HP.56.
		The Halifax was more troublesome than the Lancaster, perhaps also because it was the pioneer in many ways, and the Lancaster had better performance.
		The Halifaxes considerably hindered U-boat activities by forcing them to dive, but actual sinkings were rare.

	FM 1/48 Handley Page Halifax Mk.III
		The Handley Page Halifax was the most advanced strategic bomber in the RAF's inventory from its service introduction in 1941 until overshadowed by the Avro Lancaster in 1942.
		The first two versions of the Halifax were powered by the Merlin engine, whose performance on the airframe were causing many of the limitations that put the aircraft in Bomber Command's sights.
		Handley Page was able to switch powerplants to the Hercules radial engine with the Mk.III version and this change improved the aircraft's performance, but not enough to compete against the Lancaster.

		The Handley Page Halifax has, since 1945 always lived in the shadow of the Avro Lancaster.
		Having said that, it was the first successful four engined heavy bomber of world war 2, and it seems to me that the Halifax was not a bad aeroplane at all, just not as good as a Lancaster and the Lancaster was a very special aeroplane indeed.
		All in all 6,178 Halifax's were produced and with the Avro Lancaster took the war to Germany in the heaviest and most sustained bombing offensive in history.

		The Halifax shared with the Lancaster the major burden of Bomber Command's night bombing campaign against Nazi Germany but unlike the Lancaster, which only served as a bomber during the war, the Halifax was used extensively on other duties including glider-tug, agent dropping transport and general reconnaissance aircraft in Coastal Command.
		Due to mounting losses on Bomber Command operations over Germany Halifax bombers were restricted to less hazardous targets from September 1943.
		The Halifax was in the process of being replaced as a front line bomber in 1945 but it continued in service with Coastal and Transport Commands after the war.

	Handley Page Halifax by Randall Whitcomb
		The Halifax bomber is a relatively un-sung aircraft even by non-American standards yet it was the mainstay of Bomber Command during the most challenging phases of this aspect of the war.
		The Halifax entered service earlier than the Avro Lancaster and more Canadians served on Halifaxes by far than on the more popularised Lancaster.
		III, using Bristol Hercules radial engines of around 1,800hp each, made the Halifax more powerful than either the Lancaster or Boeing B-17 and this aircraft was a match for any bomber in the European Theatre.
