ARMSTRONG WHITWORTH WHITLEY

Title: Armstrong Whitworth Whitley

The Armstrong Whitworth Whitley first flew in 1936 and was one of three medium bombers in service with the RAF at the start of WW2. When it first entered service in 1937 it replaced biplane aircraft such as the Handley-Page Harrow but by 1940 the aircraft was obsolete. Nevertheless, another 1000 examples had been produced by 1943 before suitable replacements were found and production ended. The Whitley was notable for the nose-down attitude of the fuselage during flight due to the high angle of incidence of the wing.
