Hawker Typhoon, Tempest & Sea Fury
Hardbound Aircraft Book
Darling. The Typhoon was designed as a high-speed
interceptor fighter and replacement for the Hurricane. The Tempest then derived
from the Typhoon, and proved a more than capable ground-attack aircraft and

faster Sea Fury, which evolved from the Fury. This well-researched and readable
book tells the full story of these important aircraft. 192 pages, 276 B&W
photographs, 8 page color section, 8¾"x 11", hardcover.
