Historical background:

The Handley Page Hampden B.Mk.II was a British medium bomber used during World War II, primarily by the Royal Air Force (RAF). The B.Mk.II variant was equipped with American Wright Cyclone engines instead of the standard Bristol Pegasus engines, which allowed this version to be used mainly in Canada for crew training as well as for carrying out patrol duties along the Atlantic coast. Hampdens of this variant took part in the first night raids on German targets between 1940 and 1943, mainly during the early stages of the conflict.
