In early 1934, Lord Rothermere, owner of the Daily Mail newspaper, challenged the British aviation industry to build a high-speed aircraft capable of carrying six passengers and two crew members - he referred to the ambition as seeking "the fastest commercial aeroplane in Europe, if not the world". When it was found to out-perform the existing fighters, it was presented to the nation and served in roles including Fighter, Bomber and Reconnaissance among others. Often called 'The Forgotten Bomber', it's achievements, including as a night fighter during the 'Battle of Britain', have been overlooked in favour of the glamorous 'Spitfire' and 'Hurricane' day fighters.
