Hardcover. Etat : Very Good. 1st Edition. VINTAGESTAN BOOKS Title: Vickers Wellington 1936 to 1953 All marks and Models by Iain R. Murray. Haynes Owners Workshop Manual Summary: The book traces the Wellington from its conception in the mid-1930s through its retirement from RAF service in 1953. It explains how chief designer Rex Pierson and structural engineer Barnes Wallis (Famous for the Bouncing Bomb) developed the revolutionary geodetic airframe; a lattice of metal members covered with fabric that gave the aircraft exceptional strength and damage tolerance. This construction became the Wellington's defining feature and is examined in detail with photographs and diagrams. Author: Iain R. Murray Publisher: J.H. Haynes & Co Ltd.
