About the Vickers Wellington Mk.II:

The Vickers Wellington was one of the most important British bombers of World War II, serving as the mainstay of RAF Bomber Command from 1938 until 1943. Designed by Barnes Wallis using his revolutionary geodetic construction method, the Wellington featured a unique basket-weave framework that gave it exceptional strength and the ability to sustain heavy battle damage and still return home. This innovative design made it one of the most survivable bombers of the war.

The "Wimpy" - A Bomber Legend:

Affectionately nicknamed the "Wimpy" after the Popeye character J. Wellington Wimpy, the Wellington Mk.II was powered by two Rolls-Royce Merlin engines and could carry up to 4,500 pounds of bombs. It participated in the first RAF bombing raid on Germany and continued to serve throughout the war in various roles, including maritime patrol, training, and transport. Over 11,000 Wellingtons were built, making it one of the most-produced British bombers of WWII.
