The Whitley was the first plane to parachute agents into Poland, was the first plane to get an ASV assisted U-Boat kill and dropped the first bombs on Germany, anything wrong with that?
The Wellington was a solid performer, which carried the brunt of RAF Bomber Command's night-bombing offensive against Germany, until the four-engined heavies arrived....they also illustrated to the RAF the futility of daylight raids against a superior fighter force....At 4,500 lb bombload, they paved the way to Germany's eventual destruction....Also, their later work in Coastal Command was impressive..........
