sličica|Formacija Fairey Battle ("Bitka") je bil enomotorni propelerski lovski bombnik, ki ga je razvil britanski Fairey Aviation Company v 1930ih za potrebe Kraljevih letalskih sil. Poganjal ga je Rolls-Royce Merlin V12, ki se je kasneje uporabljal na lovcih Hawker Hurricane in Supermarine Spitfire. Battle je bil velik korak naprej od prejšnjih letal, vendar pa je bil v primerjavi z lovci iz 2. svetovnne vojne počasen, slabo zaščiten in je imel majhen dolet, zato so ga hitro upokojili.
