The twin-engine bombers taking off on the mission to bomb the German pocket battleships at Kiel are a mix of Vickers Wellingtons, Type 290 Mark Is and Type 408 Mark 1As. Note the advanced, unusual, yet very strong and lightweight geodesic construction of the fuselage visible during the interior shots and through the perspex windows from the exterior. Produced from 1936 to 1945, over eleven thousand four hundred Wellingtons of all types were made.
