The Turret Fighters

Rating:
Summary: Outstanding overview of all turret fighters
Review: A very well researched, easy to read book about the fascinating history of the turret equipped fighters. This book covers the design, development and production (where applicable) of fighters equipped with flexible ordnance from pre-WWI tru WWII. This book centers on the Blackburn ROC and Boulton-Paul Defiant but also covers the turret development that led to the ROC and Defiant as well as other aircraft not generally thought of as "turret fighters" such as the Northrop P-61 Black Widow. Overall a very well written and very well researched book for anyone interested in British fighter development and tactics in the inter-war years.
