The Fairey Battle was a British light single-engine three-seat bomber aircraft used early in World War II.
The beginnings of the development of the aircraft date back to 1933, when a request was made for a new monoplane light bomber. The first Rolls-Royce Merlin F-powered prototype, initially designated Fairey P.27/32 (K4303), took off in March 1936 at Great West Aerodrome, piloted by Chris Staniland. In July 1936 he was posted to the Aircraft and Armament Research Institute (A&AEE) at Martlesham Heath, Suffolk. After a few weeks, it was returned to the parent plant to eliminate a number of deficiencies. After the notified defects were eliminated, tests at A&AEE continued in October of the same year. At the end of 1937, the first production Fairey Battle Mk.I with a 757 kW Merlin I engine also joined the tests.
From 1938 license series production began at Austin Motors in Longbridge, Birmingham.
Battle production continued with Merlin II and III engines installed with power up to 1058 kW, several machines received the Merlin V power unit with higher boost pressure. These variants were designated Battle Mk.II, Mk.III, or Mk.V, but the aircraft still reached a relatively low speed. As it turned out in 1940, it became obsolete quite quickly.
A specialized training unarmed version of the 1940s was designated Fairey Battle (T) with twin controls. 30 aircraft were rebuilt from combat machines, the rest were newly manufactured. The machines from the first order of 100 were given Air Ministry serial numbers in the series P6616-P6645, P6663-P6692, P6718-P6737 and P6750-P6769. The second batch manufacturer of Battles, Austin Motors in Birmingham, also took part in another stocus series (R7356-R7385, R7399-R7448 and R7461-R7480). 226 units of the Battle Mk.I (TT) type were adapted for towing targets intended for anti-aircraft firing practice.
A total of 2185 pieces of various variants were produced.
