About the Boulton Paul Defiant NF Mk.II:
The Defiant was a British two-seat turret fighter designed to shoot down enemy bombers. The NF Mk.II version was modified for night fighting with the addition of an AI Mk.IV radar system. Though it lacked the performance of single-seat fighters, it proved effective in night operations. It served with RAF night squadrons until 1942 before being reassigned to secondary roles.
