Re: Placing the Fairey Battle.
Not exactly, because of the mentioned aircraft, Hurricane, Spitfire, Wellington and Me 109 turned to be effective enough to remain in the service. As a general rule, I would say that the first generation of metal warplanes from mid-1930s turned out generally misfit and ineffective. Forthcoming generation that appeared at the end of 1930s/beginning 1940s seems much more nature. That said, Battle must be considered a failure, or perhaps a magnificent failure.
