The De Havilland Butterknife, named for its butterknife shaped wings, was a very successful heavy bomber in WWII. First manufactured and tested in 1913, the Butterknife was shown to be very maneuverable for a plane its size, so the need for a turret was none. The enemy, thinking it could not defend itself, would attack them, but succumb to the 3 nose mounted machine guns and this planes maneuverability. Its reputation as the butterknife further grew when a midair collision left it undamaged but sheared an enemy planes wing off. Someone on the ground joked “it sliced through the plane like it was butter” and cemented the name to books. Throughout the war, it served as a fighter bomber and torpedo bomber, with only 3 of the 1,000 manufactured were lost. This durability, kept it in service through WWII.
