@whar29 Barnes Wallis surely? Wallis certainly designed the geodetic structure for Wellingtons, and used them to test Bouncing Bombs

Wellington Bomber - Window breaker, aerial bombing does not win wars

Someone would call the Wellington a 'poor mans lancaster' but its sure could take a lot of punishment

My godfather flew in one of these in WWII in Burma and yes, he was a tail gunner. Now in his 80's he will not fly in a commercial aircraft, but given the opportunity he would get back in a Wellington in a heartbeat. He says he felt perfectly at ease in the tail section.

Wellington designed by RK Pierson Chief Designer Vickers Arsmstrong.

Wellington bombers made trips over Krautland for two years before Pearl Harbour..
Britain held the fort; the US made it safer.......eventually

My great uncle completed 33 missions (30 mission tour plus 3 special missions) on Wellingtons as a pilot. According to his logbook he was hit by flak on at least 3 missions, wounding his rear gunner on one occasion and losing an engine. He also photographed a German warship at low-level over Norway, sorry I can't remember which ship it was (I might post the photo). Unfortunately he died on a cross-country night flight in '43. Thanks for all these videos TOPCAMERAMAN, all the best.

Didn't the early versions of the B 26 have a narrower wingspan? The later, wider span versions were less challenging to fly, I think, hence the reduction in the loss rates.
