Although powered by the Rolls-Royce Merlin piston engine, with a three-man crew and bomb load, it was much heavier than the fighters, slower and vulnerable to enemy fighters and anti-aircraft fire. Early in the Second World War during the 'Phoney War' the Fairey Battle achieved the distinction of scoring the first aerial victory of an RAF aircraft in the conflict. In May 1940, the Battles suffered many losses, frequently in excess of 50 per cent of aircraft sorties per mission.
