Hawker Typhoon, Tempest and Sea Fury by Kev Darling
The first of a family of singel-engined aircraft that would play an important part in the RAF's and Fleet Air Arm's contributions to World War II, the Typhoon was designed as a high-speed interceptor fighter and replacement for its forebear, the Hurricane. The Tempest was a development of the Typhoon. It was a more than capable ground-attack aircraft and defence fighter at medium altitudes. The final development of the line was the small and even faster Sea Fury, which had evolved from the Fury originally destined for the RAF. This title tells the full story of these important aircraft.
Kev Darling spent more than twenty years in the Royal Air Force, engineering aircraft ranging in size from the Tiger Moth to the TriStar. Medically discharged after the first Gulf War he strengthened his writing career, which he had begun in 1986. Since then he has authored numerous magazine articles and more than twenty books and monographs. He lives in Vale of Glamorgan.
