Britain's "Cutting-Edge" Bomber Got Annihilated By Germany: Fairey Battle

In this video, we take a look at the Fairey Battle, a British-designed light bomber from early World War II that was meant to modernize British aerial forces. We first talk about the lack of Britain's military spending in the interwar period, in part because of people like Winston Churchill, and how that led to their military equipment being horribly outdated. We then talk about the rush to modernize their military, and how this led to solid aircraft like the Hawker Hurricane and Supermarine Spitfire... and also the Fairey Battle. We then talk about what Britain had for light bomber aircraft in the Hawker Hart, and how the a plane like the Battle was to be a significant upgrade over it. We talk about the early performance of the Battle and how, while it was well above the required specifications and, in some sense, cutting-edge, it was outdated before it even flew. We talk about the push to produce the Battle regardless and how it performed terribly in combat against Germany. We end by talking about the Battle's short military career and how it did serve a purpose, although not the purpose that was originally envisioned.
