The Fairey Battle: Pride & Preposterousness

A Warbird Mistress Short!
Taken from the video, "On Fairey Wings" a comprehensive documentary on the fixed-wing, military aircraft by the famous aircraft manufacturer:    • On Fairey Wings: A History of Fairey's Fix...  

The Fairey Battle is one of the most ridiculed aircraft of the Second World War, yet it was also indispensable as a trainer in the British Commonwealth Air Training Plan (BCATP) (also known as the Empire Air Training Scheme, EATS). She began her career as one of the best aircraft in the world, not unlike her near contemporary, the Douglas TBD Devastator. Just like the Devastator, she would be massacred when met with enemy fighters. Unlike the TBD, she would still go on to perform well in the service of God, King, and Country, if not in her intended roles.
