Vickers Wellington Units of Bomber Command (Combat Aircraft)

The Vickers Wellington was a significant aircraft that was in production during World War II and was deployed at the front lines. With over 10,000 units built, the Wellington played a crucial role in the early bombing raids of the Royal Air Force (RAF). On September 4, 1939, it carried out its first mission when 14 aircraft undertook a daring daylight operation over the Kiel Canal. However, due to high losses in subsequent missions, the Wellington was soon switched to night operations. Throughout the war, it was involved in numerous important missions, including attacks on the Italian port city of Genoa and Berlin. The Wellington formed the backbone of Bomber Command and participated in all major operations, including the famous "Thousand Bomber" raids. This illustrated work provides a comprehensive analysis of the design, development, and deployment of the Vickers Wellington, highlighting its significant role in World War II.
