The Vickers Wellington was a British twin-engined, long range medium bomberdesigned in the mid-1930s at Brooklands in Weybridge, Surrey, by Vickers-Armstrongs' Chief Designer, Rex Pierson in response to specification B.9/32. Issued in the middle of 1932, this called for a twin-engined day bomber of higher performance than any previous design. It was widely used as a nightbomber in the early years of the Second World War, before being supersded as a bomber by the larger four-engined "heavies" such as the Avro Lancaster. please enjoy and upvote

    No the Wellington was a awesome plane with a geometrical body meaning it had no center or spine so when planes shot at it a piece would come out but the whole plane would be intact. It was pretty slow tough and had 7.7s (Horrible guns by them self) to defend its self.
