The Hawker Fury biplane was one of
the most maneuverable, responsive, easy to fly fighter aircraft of its day. Its
in-line 12 cylinder Rolls Royce engine provided relatively high speed, good
acceleration, and an excellent rate of climb.
It was the first RAF
fighter to exceed 200 mph in level flight, and one of the easiest handling
airplanes for formation flying. That made it an air show favorite with pilots
and spectators alike.
The Fury was the primary fighter of the RAF from
1932 through 1937, when it was replaced in front line service by more modern
aircraft. Thereafter some remained in service with the RAF as trainers through
1939.
About a third of the Fury's produced were exported to British
allies around the world. A number were still in service with Yugoslavia during
the German invasion of the country in April of 1941. The British built fighters
fared poorly against modern Luftwaffe warbirds.
A total of some 275 Hawker Fury aircraft of all types were produced.
