Hawker Fury
Aircraft. Hawker Fury?
The above aircraft was in RAF service and in 1935, over 400 of
these bi-planes were on front line service! Only four years later, we were at war. Yet this plane never gets a mention. Were they all
scrapped, or was a secondary role found for them?
Kindly only answer if you are "genned" thank you.
The Hawker Fury was a biplane fighter design used by the RAF in the 1930s. It was originally named the Hornet and was the counterpart to the Hawker Hart light bomber.
The Fury was the RAF's first operational fighter aircraft to be able to exceed 200 mph (320 km/h) in level flight. It had highly sensitive controls which gave it superb aerobatic performance. It was designed partly for the fast interception of bombers and to that end it had a climb rate of almost 2400 feet per minute (730 m/min).
There were two marks of Fury. The Fury I made its maiden flight on the March 25 1931 and was issued to No. 43 Squadron later that year. The Fury II had several improvements including a 20% increase in power, a higher top speed, and a greater rate of climb. It was issued to squadrons in 1936-1937.
Three Spanish variants were ordered in 1935 which eventually took part in the Spanish Civil War, serving with both sides of the conflict. The Spanish variant had a cantilever undercarriage design and could achieve a top speed of 242 mph.
By 1939 the Fury had been phased out from RAF squadrons and replaced with, amongst other designs, Gloster Gladiators and Hawker Hurricanes. However it was still used in some foreign air forces in the early 1940s; Yugoslav Furies saw action against Axis forces in the German invasion of 1941. They were also used by the South African Air Force against the Italian forces in East Africa in 1941.
A total of 262 Furys were produced, of which 22 served in Persia, 3 in Portugal, at least 30 in South Africa, 3 in Spain, at least 30 in Yugoslavia and the remainder in the United Kingdom.
