Description

Vickers Wellington Units of Bomber CommandThe Vickers Wellington was one of very few aircraft types to have been in production and frontline service throughout World War II, and more than 10,000 Wellingtons were built in the period. They took part in the first RAF bombing mission of the conflict when, on 4 September 1939, 14 examples from Nos 9 and 149 Sqns undertook a daring daylight attack on the Kiel Canal. However, after suffering high losses on follow up raids, Wellingtons were withdrawn

The Vickers Wellington was one of very few aircraft types to have been in production and frontline service throughout World War II, and more than 10,000 Wellingtons were built in the period. They took part in the first RAF bombing mission of the conflict when, on 4 September 1939, 14 examples from Nos 9 and 149 Sqns undertook a daring daylight attack on the Kiel Canal. However, after suffering high losses on follow-up raids, Wellingtons were withdrawn from daytime missions and began to operate at night from May 1940. They subsequently took part in raids against the Italian port city of Genoa in July 1940, and against Berlin the following month, followed by key missions in the 'Battle of the Barges' in September and October, as the RAF targeted the Germany's invasion fleet being assembled in French Channel ports. When RAF's strike force expanded the next year following the introduction of the improved Wellington II, the 21 squadrons equipped with the Vickers aircraft, which included Polish-, Canadian- and Australian-manned units, formed the backbone of the Bomber Command night bombing force. Over the next two years Wellingtons participated in all the major operations by Bomber Command, including the daylight raid against German battleships in Brest harbour in July 1942 and the first three 'Thousand Bomber' raids in the summer of 1942.

This illustrated study explores the design, development, and deployment of the Vickers-Wellington type, charting its role in World War II from its earliest missions to its use in training after its withdrawal from frontline bomber missions in 1943. The text is supported by stunning full-colour artwork.

Super thick and soft
Wanted something pretty to put under a lounge chair on our new vinyl flooring. The rug is very thick and soft underfoot. I love the "look" of the irregular shape in the room! I have luxury vinyl flooring and put a "pad" between the rug and the floor to protect the floor "just in case." Plus, the chair on the rug is heavy, especially with someone sitting in it. So, I took the extra precaution. I've had this rug for a few weeks and absolutely LOVE it!

Very happy
I was cautious about buying a fur product sight unseen. There can be so many variations in what you can get. Have to say I'm very happy with everything about this beautiful sheepskin. I've had different kinds of natural fur rugs , including a 90 pelt skunk skin rug! This sheepskin is well made and put together. It's an even soft white color, and only very faint fur/hide scent (to be expected) Gonna get a 2nd one and hope it's exactly the same.

Great Rug @ great price
I really wanted a large sheep skin rug that wasn't fake for my bedroom but didn't want to pay the high price. This was the best price i could find for the size i wanted. It worked out great! No weird smells, very fluffy, nice light color, and good size.

It's a good looking rug for the price!
The size is almost true to measurements which is super great when ordering a natural product! The backing is very nicely finished! No smell! Only comment on my 4 stars would be quality it's just ok, some spots are really soft and some are more ruff as if it was not top quality sheep, and a few random un brushed hair, beside that the color is super it's a creamy light yellow tint (more cream though) for the price I totally recommend this rug.
