Defiant

 

I'm reading this at the moment and, despite the title and cover image, it's not entirely about the eponymous Bolton Paul Defiant. In fact, it's a really fascinating overview of the development of twin seater fighters, starting with the Bristol Fighter in 1917 and focusing on 141 Squadron, which was eventually equipped with the Defiant twenty plus years later. Interesting stuff and not at all what I was expecting from what looked like a revisionist historical attempt to rehabilitate the Defiant and its role in the Battle of Britain.
