EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the Handley Page 0/400, a groundbreaking long-range four-man heavy bomber of the First World War era. The image captures the aircraft with its wings folded, a testament to the ingenuity of its design. The Handley Page 0/400 made its first flight in September 1917, with deliveries commencing in March 1918. The folding of its wings was a crucial feature, enabling the plane to be housed in smaller hangars that were not readily available during wartime. The Handley Page 0/400 was a significant development in aviation history, representing the advancements made in military aviation technology during the First World War. This biplane, with its distinctive wings and robust construction, was a formidable presence in the skies. The 0/400's long range capabilities made it an essential asset for strategic bombing missions, allowing it to reach targets deep within enemy territory. The photograph transports us back in time, offering a glimpse into the history of flight during the Great War. It serves as a reminder of the technological innovations that shaped the course of aviation and military history. The Handley Page 0/400, with its wings folded, stands as a symbol of the determination, ingenuity, and resourcefulness of the pioneers of aviation during the First World War.
