Vickers Victoria
Encyclopedia : V : VI : VIC : Vickers Victoria
The Vickers Type 56 Victoria was a biplane freighter and troop transport aircraft of the British Royal Air Force, which flew for the first time in 1922.
The design mated the fuselage of the earlier Vernon transport with the wing of the Virginia bomber, which was developed in parallel. It was also powered by twin Napier Lion engines.
97 were built, many of which were later converted into Valentias.
