The Blackburn Roc; A Terrible Fighter but a Good Idea?

The Blackburn Roc has long been rated as one of the worst fighter aircraft in history. But there were solid reasons for its design, which I look at in this video, along with a basic history of the plane itself. *CORRECTION: I state that the Roc used a Frazier Nash turret. In fact it used a Boulton-Paul “Type A“ turret that used an electric not hydraulic drive. Thanks to John Dell for pointing this out.* Links: My video on the Skua dive-bomber/fighter, from which the Roc was developed: Also, check out John Dell’s excellent “Dinger Aviation” page on the Roc: Please consider supporting me at patreon: Interested in the war against ISIS and want to help support this channel?: Or military affairs/history?
