FAIREY BATTLE

$9.95

Title: Fairy Battle

The Fairey Battle was a single-engine light bomber designed to replace biplanes like the Hawker Hind. Despite being a great improvement on those, it was effectively obsolete when it first flew in 1936 due to the rapid advances then being made in the design of aircraft. The Battle was too slow and too heavy, and suffered heavy losses of over 50% when it was used in anger at the beginning of WW2. After 1940 it was relegated to training, target-towing and as an engine testbed.

This title includes the flight manual (titled Pilot’s Notes) and the maintenance manual (titled Air Publication Volume One – Servicing and Descriptive Handbook) for the Fairey Battle, along with an interesting RAF training manual, a NACA descriptive aircraft circular and the aircraft Profile covering the Fairey Battle. The files have been scanned from the original flight manuals and retain any colour pages.
