RAF 307 (Polish) Sqn EW-K N3437
Kirton-on-Lindsey, England 1940
The mount of a rotating turret with four machine guns in a fighter did have a few bright moments, specially when Bf 109's pilots mistook them for Hurricanes, attacking from the rear... But once the lesson learned by the Germans, the Defiant suffered hard casualties. The lack of frontal guns and less manouvrability against the Messerschmitt relegated it to night operations and rescue duties.
