Boulton Paul Defiant. Technical Details and History of the Famous British Night Fighter (Yellow Series) (Mushroom Model Magazine Special No. 6117)
Sandomierz, Poland: Mushroom Model Publications, 2005. First Edition. Original decorated wrappers. ISBN: 8389450194. With b/w & coloured plates & illustrations. Slight wear to spine, covers & corners. Spine uncreased. ; "Boulton Paul Defiant: Technical Details and History of the Famous British Night Fighter" provides an in-depth examination of one of Britain’s distinctive aircrafts used during World War II. The book traces the Defiant’s development, from its inception as a day fighter designed by Boulton Paul Aircraft Ltd. To its more successful role as a night fighter. The text highlights the unique design feature of the Defiant—the lack of forward-firing guns and the inclusion of a fully rotating turret behind the pilot, which was innovative at the time but eventually rendered obsolete by advancements in fighter tactics and technology. It details various technical aspects, including armament, engine specifications, and flight performance. The work also covers the aircraft's operational history, emphasizing its effectiveness in the Battle of Britain when used in its intended role, and later as a night fighter, where it achieved more success, particularly in intercepting enemy bombers. This book serves as a tribute to a unique chapter in aviation history. ; Yellow; Octavo; 120 pages. Very Good with no dust jacket .
