Early in the war, an Anson scored a probable hit on a German U-boat. In June 1940, a flight of three Anson's was attacked by nine Luftwaffe Messerschmitt Bf 109s. Remarkably, the Anson's downed two German aircraft "and damaging a third before the 'dogfight' ended", without losing any of their own. The aircraft's true role, however, was to train pilots for flying multi-engine bombers such as the Avro Lancaster. The Anson was also used to train the other members of a bomber's air crew, such as navigators, wireless operators, bomb aimers and air gunners.
