De '''Fairey Battle''' wie in [[bommesmiter]] dy't foar en yn de [[Twadde Wrâldoarloch]] brûkt waard troch de [[Royal Air Force|R.A.F.]] en de Belgyske Loftmacht. It tastel waard ûntwurpen en makke troch it fleantúchfabryk [[Fairey]] yn [[Grut-Brittanje]]. De ûntwerper wie [[Marcel Lobelle]], in Belg út Kortrijk. De Battle wie in lichte bommesmiter fan metaal, mei ien motor en in lâningsgestel dat ynlutsen wurde koe.
Despite being a great improvement on the aircraft that preceded it, by the time it saw action it was slow, limited in range and highly vulnerable to both anti-aircraft fire and jagers, having only two defensive .303 in machine guns.<ref name="Ethell 1995, p. 177">Ethell 1995, s. 177.</ref>
During the "[[Spûkoarloch|Phoney War]]", the Fairey Battle recorded the first RAF aerial victory of the [[WK II]] but by May 1940 was suffering heavy losses of well over 50% per mission. Ein 1940 the Battle had been withdrawn from combat service and relegated to training units overseas. For such prewar promise, the Battle was one of the most disappointing of all RAF aircraft.<ref name="Ethell 1995, s. 177"/>
