Defiant Mk.I Characteristics

The Boulton Paul Defiant Mk.I was a British interceptor fighter used by the Royal Air Force during World War II. Its most distinctive feature was a rotating turret armed with four machine guns—a unique solution that, however, soon proved less effective in direct air combat against German fighters. Initially used by RAF fighter squadrons, including during the Battle of Britain (1940), it later excelled as a night fighter and reconnaissance aircraft. Defiant production lasted from 1937 to 1943.
