Boulton Paul P.82 Defiant Turret Fighter Family

The Boulton Paul P.82 Defiant was a two-seat British fighter built around a power-operated four-gun dorsal turret rather than fixed forward guns. Designed to intercept bombers, it proved ill-suited to daylight fighter combat but found an important second life as a radar-equipped night fighter during the Blitz and later served in training and target-tug roles.
