Boulton Paul Defiant Mk.i Turret Fighter/Interceptor

Flying alongside such famous planes as the spitfire and hurricane in the battle of Britain, was the Boulton Paul Defiant. A plane designed to intercept the waves of unescorted bombers that would plague the UK during the blitz, the Defiant was unique in it's armament layout. The rear mounted turret allowed the aircraft to attack the enemy from below, the weakest point in a bomber's defence, whilst also providing an adequate field of fire for the interceptor to defend itself.






First serving with No.264 squadron, the Defiant saw success in the air, it's similar shape to the hurricane luring German fighter squadrons to dive at them, only to be met by the fury of dozens of .303 browning machine guns. Further, they saw great success in interception missions, with 264 squadron downing 19 stukas, and a ju 88 all in one day. The Defiant also helped to cover the evacuation at Dunkirk, where multiple aircraft engaged the same target, effectively saturating them with fire.
