Airfix 1:72 Scale Boulton Paul Defiant Mk.I Plastic Kit A02069
The Boulton-Paul Defiant was the only \u2018turret fighter\u2019 to enter service
with the RAF. The Defiant used the philosophy that a fighter aircraft,
armed solely with a turret bristling with machine guns would be able to
enter a bomber stream causing havoc and the turret would also enable it
to defend itself from enemy fighters.
During its first few engagements during the Battle of Britain in 1940,
enemy pilots were taken by surprise and the Defiant fared well but soon
the Luftwaffe pilots worked out its weaknesses, especially the lack of
forward firing guns and the Defiant was soon relegated to night fighting
duties were it fared better.
