The Vickers Wellington was a British twin-engine, medium bomber designed in the mid-1930s by Vickers-Armstrongs' Chief Designer, R.K. Pierson. It was widely used as a night-time bomber in the early years of World War II and was later replaced by the larger, four-engined heavy bombers such as the Avro Lancaster. The Wellington did serve throughout the remainder of the war mainly as an anti-submarine aircraft. As a note of distinction, it was the only British bomber to be produced throughout the entire war.
