Re: Placing the Fairey Battle.

Quote:
When hostilities began BC was asked to deliver on its promises, and specifically to degrade the Kriegsmarine. But BC's attacks on the Admiral Scheer in the Schillig Roads on September 4, 1939, and on the Gneisenau and Scharnhorst off Brunsbuettelkoog on the same day, and its attack on the Koenigsberg, all failed completely.
Would dive bombers have faired any better than the level bombers? Think not!

I would still like to know if you consider the P-47 a 'failed' fighter.
