Number five in their Airframe Detail series of books from Valiant Wings Publishing is on the Boulton Paul Defiant and can be considered the "go-to" book for this aircraft. It covers the aircraft in enough detail that truly no other book is needed. The book is broken out thusly:
- Introduction
- Technical Description
- Camouflage & Markings
- Kit Build: Airfix 1/48 Defiant
There are also five appendices:
- Kits
- Accessories & Masks
- Decals
- Production & Squadrons
- Bibliography
All-in-all more than enough for building any Defiant model and plenty to satisfy anyone curious about the history of the Defiant. Plenty of thanks goes to Valiant Wings Publishing for providing the book for review.
