Armstrong Whitworth: Albemarle

From Graces Guide
1944. Assembly of "Albemarle" Aircraft.
1944. "Albemarle" Transport Aircraft.

The Armstrong Whitworth A.W.41 Albemarle was a British twin-engine transport aircraft that entered service during the Second World War.

The Albemarle was originally designed by Armstrong Whitworth Aircraft as a medium bomber, but never served in that role, instead being used for general and special transport duties, paratroop transport and glider towing, including significant actions such as Normandy and the assault on Arnhem during Operation Market Garden.
