THE HAWKER TEMPEST

 

The Hawker Tempest was a British

Single-seat fighter-bomber

Known originally as the Typhoon II

A high-altitude interceptor

But with its Typhoon speed

It also found success as

A low-level ground attack aircraft

It entered service in 1944

And was the fastest single engine

Propeller-driven aircraft of the war

And was used in all theatres

Until its retirement in 1953
