The Fairey Battle is best known for being the worst plane ever to serve with the RAF. Disastrous losses in combat seemed to confirm this assessment. Does it deserve its reputation? A fresh look at the documents of the time reveal that solutions to the problems were known and, if they had been applied, the story might have been very different.

Autorenporträt
Greg Baughen was educated at Sussex University where he obtained a degree in Mathematics. In a varied teaching career, he has taught Maths and English as a Foreign Language, to children and adults, in Britain and abroad. His interest in military aviation was sparked at a very early age by curiosity over the defeat of British and French air forces in the Battle of France in 1940. For forty years, he has delved though public archives in Britain and France seeking explanations. The quest has taken him back to the origins of air power in both countries and forwards to what might have been in the Cold War. He then set to work writing a definitive history of air power in both countries.
