An innovative new way of fighting in the air developed in the 1930s, where fighter planes were equipped with a rotating hydraulic turret rather than front facing guns. Instead of battling to get on the tail of an enemy plane to fire your guns, these new fighters were capable of firing on an enemy aircraft behind, to the side, or even below them. On paper, these new war planes were super weapons capable of tearing apart enemy fighters and changing air warfare forever. In Part 1 we looked at their conception and their promise, but here in Part 2 we look at their downfall. This is the tale of death, destruction and failure.
