Historical information

The Airspeed Oxford was a British twin-engine training aircraft developed by Airspeed Ltd. for the Royal Air Force. It went into production in 1937 and for the following years became the main type of training aircraft for pilots, navigators, and air gunners during World War II. Oxfords were widely used both in the United Kingdom and in British Commonwealth training bases, including Canada, Australia, and South Africa. These aircraft played a key role during the conflict and in the postwar RAF training program.
