	Armstrong Whitworth A.W. 38 Whitley
		The Armstrong Whitworth Whitley was the only heavy bomber available to the RAF at the outbreak of the Second World War.
		The Whitley was a very distinctive aircraft, with a sharp, angular appearance and very odd looking flight profile – the wings were angled slightly upwards, so in level flight the Whitley looked to be pointing downwards.
		The Whitley's low speed made it increasingly vulnerable, and it was officially retired from front line service with bomber command in April 1942, although a number did take place in the thousand bomber raid on Cologne on 30 May 1942, when every available aircraft was needed to reach the target number of bombers.

	Armstrong Whitworth Whitley Mk.III by Mark Davies (Frog + Flightpath 1/72)
		The Whitley was one of three new strategic bombers operated by the RAF at the beginning of WW2, and the only purpose-designed night bomber.
		The Whitley was Armstrong Whitworth’s first aircraft to incorporate monocoque construction, and proved to be a very strong and robust aircraft.
		The last Whitley was retired in 1947 after being used by Armstrong Whitworth to tow their AW 52 tailless glider.

		The Armstrong Whitworth A.W.38 Whitley was one of three twin-engine, front-line medium bombers in service with the Royal Air Force at the outbreak of World War II.
		As the oldest of the three bombers, the Whitley was obsolete by the start of the war yet over 1,000 more were produced before a suitable replacement was found.
		The Whitley was retired from all front-line service in late 1942 but it continued to operate as a transport for troops and freight (including service with BOAC) as well as towing gliders.

		First flown in 1936, six squadrons were operational at the outbreak of the war and they were in action over Gemany from the first night in which they participated in a so called, "nickel" sortie, dropping leaflets over the Ruhr Valley.
		It was during these first leaflet raids that the Whitley's aircrews first tackled the problems of night operations and night navigation.
		Whitleys served widely during the early years of the war, participating in the first raids on Berlin and Italy in 1940.

		The Armstrong Whitworth A.W.38 Whitley was one of three twin-engine, front-line medium bomber types in service with the Royal Air Force at the outbreak of World War II.
		The Whitley was developed by John Lloyd, the chief designer of Armstrong Whitworth Aircraft from the Armstrong Whitworth AW.23 bomber-transport to meet Air Ministry Specification B.3/34 for a heavy night bomber.
		While the Tiger VIIIs used in the Whitley II and III were more reliable than those used in early aircraft, in 1938, the Whitley was re-engined with Rolls Royce Merlin engines, giving rise to the Whitley IV.

		In June 1940, Whitleys became the first British bombers to attack targets in Italy when they were used on a raid on Turin and Genoa over the Alps, landing in the Channel Islands to refuel.
		By April 1942, Whitleys had been withdrawn from the first-line use in Bomber Command in favour of Wellingtons, Hampdens and newer four-engine heavy-bombers such as the Stirling and Halifax.
		Whitley's remained in use, however, in Operational Training Units of Bomber Command, and the type was still widely used until the end of the war in paratroop training and on airborne operations as a troop-carrier and glider-tug.

	Warpaint Series Armstrong Whitworth Whitley
		Originally designed as a heavy bomber to replace the biplane Virginia and Heyford bombers, by the time the Whitley had served for only three years it was already considered obsolete in the heavy bomber role.
		The Whitley was then relegated to the medium bomber role but even this was denied to the airframe as the newer Manchester, Halifax, and Stirling heavy bombers moved into the medium role.
		Rather than design a new plane and put it through testing and the inevitable delays, the Whitley, out of date for what it was designed for, came forward and performed admirably at tasks that weren't even conceived when the plane was built.

		No attempt is made to provide a manually operated front turret to replace the Frog kit’s power operated turret, an important oversight in a conversion kit for a Mk I or II Whitley.
		The top of the Airwaves resin rear fuselage had to be extended and re-profiled to correct its appearance and closely cowl the Falcon turret canopy.
