United Kingdom's Vickers Vildebeest torpedo bomber, Vincent general purpose added

In the years leading up to World War II the British started their rearmament programs later than some countries. As a result some of the out dated aircraft of the early 1930s were still being used by the military. One such aircraft was the Vickers Vildebeest and the Vickers Vincent.
I've now added a page for them.

Italy's Cant Z.1007 Alcione (kingfisher) medium bomber

I've always been fascinated by the Italian three engined planes that they used during the war. For me, a total non-designer, I have to ask, why not just have 4 engines instead of 3? But then again, what do I know about aeronautics!

I've added a page for one of those 3 engined planes used in World War II by the Italians, the Cant Z.1007 Alcione.
