Wasn't the Mosquito configured as a fighter?
I suppose I should have said "in general service", not prototypes etc.
would be an accurate statement.designed to save Britain in 1940
Good post, but I'm not sure would be an accurate statement.
The Typhoon was designed as an interceptor as well, but ended up mostly similar to the later Hurricanes as a fighter-bomber. (albeit with occasional low/medium altitude interceptor work)
There was I believe a Flight (half 247 Squadron) of Gladiators at St Eval Cornwall. Though I don't know off-hand what the combat record was.
there was also the action in Norway that Gladiators were active in.
Thanks. I still consider the Gladiator to be one of the most beautiful aircraft ever built.....
The Fury looks (and is) very similar to the Tempest II though.
Oh, that Hawker Fury... Didn't see any service in WWII though. (of course, neither did the Sea Fury)
TO be fair, the Sea Fury was brought up earlier in this thread. 8)
