Difficult Journey Home by Ivan Berryman. Handley Page 0/400s are attacked by German Albatross fighters as they return home from a raid during 1918. |
Handley Page 0/400s by Ivan Berryman. For so large a machine, production of the Handley Page 0/400 was considerable with over 400 examples being delivered by the time of the Armistice in 1918. Its first missions were carried out during April of that year, operating both during daylight and by night. Here, three machines are being readied for a sortie. As final checks are completed on the nearest aircraft, some last minute engine maintenance is being carried out on a similar machine in the middle distance. The furthest example is being towed, with its vast wings folded, to the dispersal. |
