CAS[w] - Boulton Paul Defiant  {mark 1}
A Mark 1 Boulton Paul "Defiant" ...

Boulton Paul's first defiant P.82 prototype, [fin no. K8310] took her maiden flight on 11th August 1937, initially without the turret ... in response to a design requirement for a day fighter, intended for attacking unescorted bombers ...
