THE WORLD'S FASTEST BOMBER: Inspecting the Fairey Battle from stem to stern one finds: three-bladed Fairey airscrew; supercharged Rolls-Royce Merlin; small abdominal radiator, possibly denoting high-temperature cooling; internal landing lights; semi retractable undercarriage; complete cockpit enclosure; and cantilever tail plane. The covering is a stressed metal skin. All these features are visible in this view of Flt. Lt. Christopher Staniland "posing" the Battle over Heath Row.Самолёты на фотографии: Fairey Battle - Великобритания - 1936
