(the Handley Page V/1500 was the largest British plane of the First World War and arguably the first real strategic bomber, specifically designed to attack Berlin from bases in eastern England) Wikipedia, 1st Feb. 2010: Handley Page V/1500 (the Handley Page V/1500 was a British night-flying heavy bomber built by Handley Page towards the end of the First World War; it was a large four-engined biplane, which resembled a larger version of Handley Page's earlier O/100 and O/400 bombers; the end of the war stopped the V/1500 being used against Germany, but a single aircraft was used to carry out the first flight from England to India, and later carried out a bombing raid on Kabul during the Third Anglo-Afghan War; it was colloquially known within the fledgling Royal Air Force as the "Super Handley") Virtual Aircraft Museum website, 1st Feb. 2010: Aircraft directory: U.K., Handley Page V/1500 (H.P.15), 1918. |
