The planes of the Fleet Air Arm of the Royal Navy proved a scourge to Axis forces throughout every theatre of the war.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eShort Sunderland Flying Boat:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eThe Sunderland was a flying boat, developed for general reconnaissance from the S.23 Empire or C-class flying boat, the flagship of Imperial Airways. When British shipping came under constant attack by German U-boats, Sunderlands patrolled the approaches, or flew convoy protection missions. When a U-boat was sighted, Sunderlands tried to attack it before it submerged. Although sometimes described as depth charges, its bombs were set to explode at a shallow depth and were equally effective against surfaced submarines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHawker Hurricane:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eAfter having gained fame in the Battle of Britain where it was the mainstay of the RAF, the Hurricane went on to serve throughout the war. As the war progressed, it was slowly outmoded as a frontline fighter but adopted other roles such as ground attack and tank busting. The Sea Hurricane was an important development but rapidly fell out of favour for carrier operations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFairey Fulmar:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eAt first rejected by the RAF, the Fulmar fulfilled the Fleet Air Arm’s requirement for a fighter with the same firepower as a Spitfire or Hurricane. Though inferior to a dedicated single-seat fighter, the Fulmar was reliable and long-ranged, making it suited for carrier operations. However, it was to be replaced halfway through the war by the much more capable Seafire.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSupplied unpainted \u0026amp; unassembled\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e","brand":"Warlord Games","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39298713026606,"sku":"742412024","price":26.8,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0022\/1947\/4990\/products\/ScreenShot2021-04-05at14.36.37.png?v=1626087298","url":"https:\/\/www.goblingaming.co.uk\/fr\/products\/royal-navy-aircraft-victory-at-sea","provider":"Goblin Gaming","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
