Vickers Wellington

The Wellington, one of Britain's standard long-range bombers, is built on the Geodetic principle developed by Messers. Vickers-Wallis. This system gives great rigidity with little weight, and leaves the inside of the fuselage and wings clear for tanks, accommodation, etc. The wellington has a wing-span of 86 feet and is powered by two Bristol Pegasus engines of 900 h.p. A crew consists of either four or seven, and there are gun positions in the nose, tail and the top side of the fuselage.
