The Blackburn B-25 Roc was a British Second World War-era Fleet Air Arm fighter aircraft designed by Blackburn Aircraft Ltd. It took its name from the mythical bird of the tales of the Arabian Nights the Roc. Derived from Blackburn’s Skua and developed in parallel the Roc differed in its adoption of a turret for its armament. Operationally the Roc came to be viewed as inferior to existing aircraft such as the Skua and the type only had a brief frontline service.
