Description

The Vickers Wellington: A Study in Versatility This book tells the story of the Vickers Wellington's development and operational service from before World War II to the 1950s. Despite heavy losses, the aircraft served with distinction throughout the war, playing a major part in the Mediterranean Theatre and demonstrating its versatility through maritime operations against the U-boat threat. The Wellington's geodetic construction, developed from the airship era, proved rugged and capable of absorbing battle damage, allowing crews to return safely from combat over hostile territory. Its operational history is marked by a range of uses, including transport and aircrew training, in addition to its primary role as a bomber. A detailed account of the Wellington's design, development, and service, this book provides a comprehensive understanding of one of the most important aircraft of World War II.
