Historical Information and Application

The Vickers Wellington IC is a British medium bomber, widely used during World War II. This aircraft was the backbone of the RAF's bomber fleet from the very beginning of the conflict and proved its worth in numerous campaigns—from the Battle of Britain to night raids over the Third Reich and operations in North Africa. The IC variant was distinguished by reinforced defensive armament and modified navigation systems. It served with Great Britain and its dominions from 1939 to 1945.
