Bristol Blenheim

light bomber

A fast monoplane bomber that was briefly faster than contemporary fighters when it entered service in 1937, the Blenheim was already outpaced and lightly armed by 1940, suffering appalling losses over France and the Channel ports while flying low-level daylight raids against invasion barges and shipping.
