The Handley Page Victor, one of the three V-bombers alongside the Avro Vulcan and the Vickers Valiant, was a fearsome looking aircraft. Did you know that the Victor was able to fly because it has wings?

Markgraf Volksfestung A - "The People's Doomsday Device"
Role: Strategic Bomber
Served With: Kingdom of Sopwith
First Flight: 1596
Strengths: Bombload, Turrets
Weaknesses: Expensive to Run
Inspiration: Handley-Page o/400 (1916)
Description:
Among the grimmest of the Kingdom of Sopwith’s policies was the Volksfestung Program, where villages were given responsibility to maintain, train on, and if needed fly a heavy bomber. The industrial outlay involved was immense, each aircraft requiring enough engines and guns for two scouts. Some Volksfestungs were even rebuilt as ‘Dammbrechers’, carrying a single 750kg bomb.
To build enough aircraft to equip a full bombing force and then hold them completely in reserve involved bankrupting the previously-rich Kingdom of Sopwith entirely and levying punitive taxes at all levels of society.
When the time came, these bombers had somewhere to come back to. Bombers, fewer each day, returned to the villages, loved ones snatching moments as they were refuelled and rearmed and taken aloft again. Eventually no bombers came back. The pilots and aircraft had scattered across the continent, preferring to risk the kindness of their victims to having to fly one more gas mission.
