Vickers Wellington, 1:144, Editions Atlas

The Vickers Wellington was a British twin-engine long-range medium bomber created in the mid-1930s by Vickers-Armstrong chief designer Rex Pierson. The aircraft responded to specification B.9/32, published in 1932 and which requested a twin-engine day bomber aircraft that had better performance than any previous model. The Wellington was used extensively as a night bomber in the early years of World War II, until it was displaced as a bomber by other larger four-engine aircraft such as the Avro Lancaster. The Wellington remained in service during the war in other types of missions, particularly for anti-submarine warfare. It was the only British bomber that was in production throughout the war and at the end of it it was still a front-line combat aircraft. The Wellington was one of two bombers named after Arthur Wellesley, Duke of Wellington, the other being the Vickers Wellesley.
