The Bristol Blenheim was a British light bomber developed in the 1930s from a civil transport design (the Bristol Type 142). It first flew on 25 June 1935 and entered RAF service in March 1937, becoming the RAF’s first all-metal monoplane with retractable undercarriage, powered by two Bristol Mercury radial engines.

At the outbreak of WWII, the Blenheim was one of the most advanced bombers in RAF service — but rapid technological advances soon left it vulnerable. Despite this, the Blenheim served extensively in early-war campaigns, including the Battle of France, Norway, and North Africa, as well as during the Battle of Britain in a long-range fighter and night fighter role.

Three main variants were produced: the Mk I (bomber), Mk IF (fighter), and Mk IV (longer nose, improved bomber). Over 4,400 Blenheims were built in the UK, with additional production in Canada and license-built versions in Finland.

Though lightly armed and underpowered by mid-war standards, the Blenheim performed vital bombing and reconnaissance roles. It remained in frontline RAF service until 1943, and longer with Commonwealth and overseas air forces. Its adaptability and early-war presence made it one of the RAF’s most important early WWII aircraft.
