History
The long-awaited Wellington heavy bomber brings the Allied Air Forces on par with the Axis He-111 heavy bomber. Each will have comparable and flexible bomb load-outs which is a new feature for WWII Online. Not only will the Wellington carry a significant bomb load onto the target area, but it also has significant forward and rear-facing armament to keep those pesky enemy fighters away from the fabric-covered bomber. A great secret to the Wellington is the unique and robust quality of its construction due to the geodetic design developed by the aircraft designer, Barnes Wallis.
The Vickers Wellington was a British twin-engined, long-range medium bomber. It was designed during the mid-1930s. A key feature of the aircraft is its geodetic airframe fuselage structure, this specification called for a twin-engined day bomber capable of delivering higher performance than any previous design. The Wellington was used as a night bomber in the early years of the Second World War, performing as one of the principal bombers used by Bomber Command. During 1943, it started to be superseded as a bomber by the larger four-engined "heavies" such as the Avro Lancaster. The Wellington continued to serve throughout the war in other duties, particularly as an anti-submarine aircraft.
