Canberra B Mk 2 - Revision history

U176176973: The original said "the first few runs will be bombing bases and dyeing" This is a bomber with no guns, all you can do is bomb bases and due to its speed, i hardly ever die. so the statement was incorrect.

-The '''{{Specs|name}}''' is a rank {{Specs|rank}} British jet bomber {{Battle-rating}}. It was introduced in [[Update 1.43]].
+In 1944, the Air Ministry issued a specification for a new high-speed, high-altitude bomber to replace the illustrious [[Mosquito (Family)|de Havilland Mosquito]]. While English Electric had been involved in aircraft construction since the interwar period, including producing airframes for the Handley Page [[Hampden (Family)|Hampden]] and [[Halifax B Mk IIIa|Halifax]], they had little design experience of their own. However, this was solved by the joining of W.E.W. Petter, Westland's chief designer, who had left Westland to pursue his own twin-engine fighter-bomber design after being rejected. By 1949, the first prototypes had taken flight, and in 1950, following the outbreak of the Korean War, 410 aircraft were ordered for the RAF, as well as a number for export, notably the US (license-produced as the [[B-57A]]) and Australia. The first production run, designated '''Canberra B Mk 2''', entered RAF service in 1951, replacing the Mosquito and [[Lincoln B Mk II|Lincoln]] in frontline bombing and photoreconnaissance roles.
