Fighting over the beaches of Dunkirk and in the Battle of Britain,
guarding the night skies during the perilous months of the Blitz,
pioneering electronic countermeasures, and serving air-sea rescue
roles all around our coasts, the Boulton Paul Defiant played a
vital part through most of the Second World War, finishing it in
the important target-tug role. The Defiant is rightly considered
Wolverhampton's highest profile contribution to the war, and the
most important product of Boulton Paul Aircraft. This book
celebrates the contribution of the Defiant to the war in over 200
illustrations, most from Boulton Paul's own archives, and many
never published before. It exposes some of the false myths attached
to an aircraft held in great affection by many of its crews.
