Armstrong Whitworth Whitley – historical background

The Whitley bomber was designed in the late 1930s and entered service with the Royal Air Force just before the outbreak of World War II. The aircraft was one of the three main heavy bombers of the RAF during that period, alongside the Vickers Wellington and Handley Page Hampden. It participated in the first raids on targets in Germany, took part in port mining operations, and reconnaissance flights. Its service period was during World War II, especially from 1939 to 1942, before being replaced by more modern aircraft. The Whitley operated mainly from British bases and also supported Allied operations in Norway and the North Sea.
