Armstrong Whitworth Albemarle



To quote the wiki:

"was built up of sub-sections to ease manufacture"
"The fuselage was built in three sections; the structure being unstressed plywood over a steel tube frame."

Good one Paul.  OK gents, your next clues:

(BTW I don't understand why more people aren't participating.  This is great fun!  We so need that right now)

- Two wings
- Two propellers
- A number of notable 'firsts'
- Fabric covered

Name the airplane and all of the 'firsts' for full credit :-)

Gary

Paul, This quiz is about military airplanes if you had said Wright Model B that would be fine. The original wasn't in any way intended for military purposes.

Not the Wright Flyer or the Vickers Vimy.  One of them is warm though.

And yes, it definitely entered military service and was flown by military pilots.
