The RAF's giant stopgap bomber of the 1930s - The Handley Page Harrow -

Описание: 🛩️ About This Video:
In today's video we delve into the interesting and quite fascinating tale of the Handley Page Harrow. The Harrow was ordered straight off the drawing board in 1935 as an interim bomber aircraft for the rapidly expanding RAF. 100 were eventually built in two types, the Mk.I and the Mk.II. By the time World War Two arrived it had been removed from frontline bombing duties and relegated to transport operations. The Harrow would stay in this role right up until the end of the Second World War.
