The Handley Page Halifax was one of the British front-line, four-engine heavy bombers of the Royal Air Force during the Second World War. A contemporary of the famous Avro Lancaster, the Halifax remained in service until the end of the war, performing a variety of duties in addition to bombing. The Halifax was also operated by squadrons of the Royal Australian Air Force, Royal Canadian Air Force, Royal New Zealand Air Force and Polish Air Force.
Designed to meet a British Air Ministry requirement for a heavy bomber, the Halifax was first flown on October 25th, 1939. A four man crew operated the Halifax and its armament, which included a two-gun dorsal powered turret to compliment the four-gun turret assembly in the tail. Further variations were introduced with a hefty array of powerplant setups and revised landing gear systems. The most prominent Halifax featured four Merlin X's that could generate 1,280 horsepower each. The Halifax played a major role in WWII, making 75,532 sorties as a bomber, transport or reconnaissance aircraft. © Copyright 2003-2009 The Flying Mule, Inc.
