Fairey "Battle" medium bomber airplane (British) : an all-metal low-wing cantilever monoplane
An NACA Aircraft Circular from 1937 issued by the US National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics, describing the British Fairey Battle medium bomber for an aeronautical engineering readership. Its pages combine exploded-view technical drawings, general arrangement plans, and photographs of the aircraft in flight and on the ground, with figure captions and plate numbers printed in a plain typeset layout. A designer could take from them the clean, labelled line-drawing style of mid-century engineering diagrams and the strong graphic structure of plan, elevation and cutaway views.
