Vickers Vildebeest, light british bomber on Java, Indonesia 1942
By 18 February 1942, the Allies had evacuated to Java. RAF aircraft in the area had been reduced to 18 serviceable Hurricane fighters, 12 Hudson, 6 Blenheim and four Vildebeest bombers.
The Vickers Vildebeest and the similar Vickers Vincent were two very large 2- to 3-seat single-engined British biplanes designed and built by Vickers and used as a light bomber, torpedo bomber and in the army cooperation roles. Designed against RAF specification 24/25, the Vildebeest was first flown in 1928, and entered production in 1931.
