Handley-Page Halifax:

The Halifax began life as a disaster and worked its way up.  When
first issued to Bomber Command, crews hated the aircraft; it was
too slow, poorly armed, and never carried as big a bomb-load as
other bombers.  Further development improved the aircraft
dramatically, increasing defensive firepower and speed (to 285mph),
and it saw service in many different roles until the end of the
war.  It was only capable of carrying 2000-lb bombs, since the bomb
bays were too small for anything larger, although the Halifax was
capable of hauling greater weights.  In order to keep the bombload
less than 8 (for bombing purposes), 8 x 1600-lb. bombs have been
used in this mod.  The Halifax Mk.6 had a .50 cal nose gun, and
quad .303 turrets in both the tail and beam positions.  Access the
gun turrets as per the B-17:
<G><8> = nose
   <5> = dorsal
   <2> = tail
This aircraft has a bombsight <B> and an autopilot <A>.
