AIRCRAFT IN ACTION No 1202 BRITISH BOMBERS OF WORLD WAR I

Although all the major nations involved in World War I almost simultaneously adopted a policy of long-distance bombing attacks, only Britain and Germany had the industrial backing to carry out this policy on any appreciable scale. This is the story of the evolution of the Handley Page and Vickers bombers originally developed to carry out strategic bombardment of German targets but which, adapted to serve as passenger transports, became post-war airliners and long-range exploration aircraft. More than ninety photographs, eight colour profiles, black-and-white line drawings, colour covers.
