Here is a question for the military experts among us. Did any nation have heavy bombers capable of an England-Berlin round trip? In production quantities, that is. Great Britain for one.
- Armstrong Whitworth Whitley 80 MkI/II ordered August 1935 - IOC March 1937
- Handley Page Hampton (a medium, but could reach Berlin) 180 MkI ordered August 1936, IOC September 1938
- Vickers Wellington, 180 MkI ordered August 1936, IOC October 1938

What is IOC? If it means they were on hand for the British armed forces then the first of those you listed really were available in April 1938.

(For events that occurred in 1938, real time is 1938, not 2008.)
