Usually Ships In 2-3 Business Days
The Wellington was the most important British bomber of the initial war period. The prototype first flew in June 1936. Deliveries to RAF bomber squadrons began in 1939. During the war, it operated from bases in Great Britain, India, the Middle East, North Africa, and Italy. Although relatively modern by its looks, technologically the Wellington was very much a product of an era past. By 1942 slow speed, limited ceiling, and a small bomb load made the Wellington obsolete in the European theatre of operations. Although once the European theatre Lancasters and Halifaxes had supplanted it flew until the war's end in other roles and in other theatres.
