Vickers Vimy

The Vickers Vimy was a British heavy bomber aircraft of the World War I era. Designed by R.K. Pierson to be capable of attacking targets in Germany, and produced by the Vickers Company, it first flew on 30 November 1917. Only token numbers arrived in France before the end of the war and production switched to a passenger variant, called the Vimy-Commercial. It was named after the Battle of Vimy Ridge.
