kaz3g Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 Do you believe this report?[ATTACH type=full]51893[/ATTACH] That was the first band only time they escaped being slaughtered. The Me 109’s thought they were Spitfires and attacked from above. Defiant had quadruple machine guns pointing to rear. After Me109’s realised what they had, they attacked from below and killed may good men because of Air Ministry intransigence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I always thought the Defiants were hopeless by day, and not much better by night, which is where they ended up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaz3g Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 [ATTACH type=full]51901[/ATTACH] Beautiful little aeroplane, highly aerobatic, NFG as a fighter against mono planes. The last biplane fighters in RAF service were the Gloster Gauntlets which fought amazing battles in Denmark. Highly manoeuvrable but 250 mph was their limit. Two .303 didn’t cut it, either.
