A flight of Boulton Paul Defiants, the British interceptor aircraft that served with the Royal Air Force (RAF) during World War II, was designed as a 'turret fighter', without any forward-firing guns. In combat, the Defiant was found to be effective at destroying bombers but vulnerable to the Luftwaffe's Messerschmitt Bf 109 fighters. The lack of forward-firing armament being a great weakness in daylight combat, until its potential was realised when it was converted to night fighting, later it was supplanted by the Bristol Beaufighter and de Havilland Mosquito.
