Description	Handley-Page bomb-carrying biplane, WW1
Details	A British Handley-Page biplane, equipped with two Rolls-Royce engines at 250 h.p., each driving a tractor screw. It was also fitted with three machine-guns - one forward-facing and two backward-facing. Its wing span was close to 100 feet and was able to carry up to twenty-one passengers in flight.
