Product Info

About the Aircraft:

The Boulton Paul Defiant Mk.I was a unique British interceptor during the early stages of World War II, designed with a rear-facing turret as its primary armament. This unusual configuration allowed the Defiant to engage enemy aircraft from behind, though it proved vulnerable in dogfights with faster, more maneuverable fighters. Despite its limitations, the Defiant played a key role in night-fighter missions, especially during the Battle of Britain.
