Bristol Blenheim Mk IV in Distress

The Bristol Blenheim was an all metal medium bomber developed for the RAF in 1935 from a successful commercial aircraft design which at that time was technologically advanced. By the outbreak of WWII however, with the advancement and development of monoplane fighters , the Blenheim proved to be highly vulnerable, particularly during daytime raids and many were shot down by faster and better armed German aircraft as this picture typically portrays. Despite the early losses, the Blenheim was progressively updated and served in many varied and useful roles and served well throughout the war.
