Handley Page O/100 and O/400 Heavy-Bomber Family

The Handley Page O/400 was the improved form of Britain's first large twin-engine patrol bomber and became the Royal Air Force's standard heavy bomber at the end of the First World War. Its long-range formation raids and heavy bomb load anticipated later strategic-bomber operations, while a small number of airframes were converted into early civil airliners after the war.
