Boulton Paul Defiant Mark Is of No. 264 Squadron RAF. The Defiant was a British interceptor aircraft designed as a 'turret fighter' that served with the Royal Air Force (RAF) during World War II. In combat, it was found to be effective at destroying bombers, the role it was designed for, but lacking forward-firing armament it was vulnerable to the Luftwaffe's single-seat Messerschmitt Bf 109 fighters, however, it found more success when converted to a night fighter.

A flight of Boulton Paul Defiants, the British interceptor aircraft that served with the Royal Air Force (RAF) during World War II, was designed as a 'turret fighter', without any forward-firing guns. In combat, the Defiant was found to be effective at destroying bombers but vulnerable to the Luftwaffe's Messerschmitt Bf 109 fighters. The lack of forward-firing armament being a great weakness in daylight combat, until its potential was realised when it was converted to night fighting, later it was supplanted by the Bristol Beaufighter and de Havilland Mosquito.

A Bristol Blenheim in flight. The British light bomber aircraft designed and built by the Bristol Aeroplane Company was used extensively in the first two years and in some cases throughout the Second World War. It was one of the first British aircraft with an all-metal stressed-skin construction, retractable landing gear, flaps, a powered gun turret and variable-pitch propellers. The Mk I was faster than most fighters in the late 1930s but the advance in development of monoplane fighters made all bombers more vulnerable particularly if flown in daylight, though it proved successful as a night Stock Photo
