Faster and better armed than the Spitfire, the Whirlwind was the RAF's counter to a new generation of armoured German bombers which it expected to meet in English skies in 1940. This new study throws new light on why the RAF had such high hopes for the Whirlwind, but only ordered 114 before the programme was cancelled.
