Summary

[edit]
Description
Nederlands: Fairey Battle in het RAF Museum, Hendon, London.

De Fairey Battle is een Britse eenmotorige lichte bommenwerper die werd ontworpen en gebouwd door de Fairey Aviation Company. Hij werd halverwege de jaren 1930 ontwikkeld voor de Royal Air Force (RAF) als een eendekker als opvolger van de Hawker Hart en Hind tweedekkers. De Battle was verouderd aan het begin van de Tweede Wereldoorlog, maar bleef een frontliniebommenwerper voor de RAF bij gebrek aan een geschikte vervanger. Er werden er 16 gebouwd door Fairey voor de Belgische luchtmacht. De Belgian Battles werden begin 1938 geleverd en onderscheidden zich van de Britse toestellen door een langere radiateurkap en een gladdere camouflage-afwerking.

Op 11 mei 1940 vielen negen Belgische Battles bruggen aan over het Albertkanaal dat Antwerpen met de Maas verbindt, waarbij zes vliegtuigen verloren gingen.
English: Fairey Battle at the RAF Museum, Hendon, London.

The Fairey Battle is a British single-engine light bomber that was designed and manufactured by the Fairey Aviation Company. It was developed during the mid-1930s for the Royal Air Force (RAF) as a monoplane successor to the Hawker Hart and Hind biplanes. The Battle was obsolete by the start of the Second World War, but remained a front-line RAF bomber owing to a lack of a suitable replacement. 16 were built by Fairey for service with the Belgian Air Force. The Belgian Battles were delivered in early 1938, and were differentiated from British-built examples by having a longer radiator cowling and a smoother camouflage finish.

On 11 May 1940 nine Belgian Air Force Battles attacked bridges over the Albert Canal that connects Antwerp to the Meuse River, losing six aircraft.
