Training for Battle

摘要

While the Fairey Battle was an unsuccessful combat aircraft, it proved far more useful in the training role. Several variants were developed, all adapted from the original design. The aircraft may have been slow and cumbersome in battle, but it was relatively easy and straightforward to fly, making it an ideal candidate for training. Many of those modified had the long, single cockpit adapted into two smaller, tandem versions, while others had the second substituted for a gun turret.
