Re: Placing the Fairey Battle.

Battle was an outdated concept and lacked development potential, ie. it was not possible to turn it into something more useful. That was the case of Defiant as well, which while quite modern in technology, was so outdated (or misfit) in concept. Of the mentioned aircraft, Blenheim, Whitley, Hampden, Do17, He 111, Me 110 and partially Ju 87 were found not fitting intended purposes and were either removed from service or send to other duties.
