Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Hawker Hurricane at the time could not have been better expressed in deeds what was his name. Born as Fury Monoplane, sought to continue the project monoplane version of Fury, one of the best and finest hunting among the older generation. Created by Sidney Camm of HG Hawker Engineering Company, created in 1933 around the new engine RR PV 12 and responsive to the specific F.5/34, which called for a hunt with 8 light machine guns, really an impressive increase compared to the two normally course at the time. Consider that the first specification for an Italian fighter monoplane spoke of a plane armed with a single machine gun (but 12.7), increased to two only later. After this specification were issued the F.36/34 and the new Hurricane flew November 6, 1935, soon surpassing the 483 km/h (300 mph), with the PV 12 that according to the latest specification was to get to 1,025 hp to 4,500 m, a far cry from the Kestrel that potentiate, for example, the first Bf-109. The Hurricane monoplane, in a shiny metallic gray livery, was actually a mixture of new technologies - in aerodynamic terms - like the wing monoplane, retractable by the providential wide track, closed cockpit, radio, but the reality behind the fuselage 'cockpit was in welded steel tubes covered with wooden structures which were given the painted canvas, remained so in the future. The Hurricane was a formidable fighter for 1937, when he entered the service had no equal in the world. But you could not ignore that its structure only partially metallic, and its thick wing were not entirely acceptable for the evolution necessary for the following years: even with upgraded engines, it would not be possible to significantly exceed the speed Hurricane base.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hawker's charismatic Tempest V entered RAF service just in time to be the most successful counter to the V1 flying bomb assault on southern England in the summer of 1944. With more than 800 of the robot missiles to its credit, Tempest V units then crossed the Channel to lock horns with the best the Luftwaffe had to offer – Fw 190D-9s, Ta 152s, Me 262s and Bf 109G/Ks – achieving an impressive kill/loss ratio in aerial combat. With incredibly detailed aircraft profiles and exciting combat reports this title covers the full history of Tempest squadrons, from their initial design and combat experience in World War 2 through to their post-war role and the eventual decline of this iconic British fighter.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Hawker Tempest was derived from the Hawker Typhoon. The new design was tested with various engines and eventually the Mk V was the first to enter service making its operational debut in January 1944 with the ADGB. The Tempest participated actively to the V-1 hunt during the summer of 1944, then the Tempest was sent to the Continent to join the 2TAF. During the war eight fighter squadrons became operational on Tempest including 486 (NZ) Squadron, the first to convert but also the only non-British unit to fly it. The book covers the operational usage of this squadron. Close to 50 photos illustrate the book alongside eight colour profiles and one colour plate.

Download or read book Hawker Typhoon And Tempest written by Philip Birtles and published by Fonthill Media. This book was released on 2018-11-10 with total page 520 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With the technology of the Hurricane being at the end of the biplane combat aircraft era, there was an urgent requirement for a modern fighter with a capability ahead of the anticipated German fighter development for the Luftwaffe. The Hawker design team lead by Sydney Camm created the all-metal stressed skin structure Typhoon powered by the revolutionary Napier Sabre engine. Whereas the Hurricane had been developed in peacetime, the Typhoon was designed in wartime, when the urgency of the programme caused the development of both the airframe and engine to be accelerated, resulting in teething troubles not being fully solved when the aircraft entered service with the RAF. The much improved Tempest used the same engine and basic fuselage with thinner lamina flow wings, giving improved performance at altitude, and allowing the destruction of the V1s at low altitude. Both aircraft made a significant impact on the victory by the Allies in WW2, although their low level ground attack missions were extremely hazardous, and resulted in high pilot losses.

Download or read book Lancaster Bomber Walk Around written by Ron MacKay and published by MMD-Squadron. This book was released on 2010 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Avro Lancaster was unquestionably the finest all-around performer within RAF Bomber Command during the air war against Nazi Germany between 1942 and 1945. The Lancaster flew no fewer than 156,000 individual sorties and dropped more than 600,000 tons of explosives and incendiaries, playing a leading role in bringing Hitler's Reich to its knees. Known for its greenhouse cockpit, turret nose, twin tail, and 33-foot long bomb bay the Lancaster took part in Air Marshall Harris's 'Operation Gomorrah' in July 1943, in which Germany's industrial center of Hamburg was devastated by round-the-clock bombing raids. In the thick of the air war, the Lancasters also paid a high price - 3,249 were lost in action. This volume is enhanced by the fact that the author's uncle survived 36 operations as a bomb aimer aboard a Lancaster of No 49 Squadron. Illustrated with 200 photographs, plus color profiles and detailed line drawings.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: L'Hawker Hurricane, uragano, a suo tempo non avrebbe potuto esprimere meglio nei fatti quello che era il suo nome. Nato come Fury Monoplane, si proponeva di continuare in versione monoplana il progetto del Fury, uno dei migliori e più raffinati tra i caccia della vecchia generazione. Creato da Sidney Camm della HG Hawker Engineering Company, ideato fin dal 1933 attorno al nuovo motore RR PV 12 e rispondente alla specifica F.5/34, che chiamava per un caccia dotato di 8 mitragliatrici leggere, davvero un aumento impressionante rispetto alle due normalmente portate all'epoca. Si pensi che la prima specifica per un caccia italiano monoplano parlava di un aereo armato di un'unica mitragliatrice (ma da 12,7), aumentata a due solo in seguito. Dopo di questa specifica vennero emesse la F.36/34 e il nuovo Hurricane volò il 6 novembre 1935, superando presto i 483 km/h (300 miglia orarie), con il PV 12 che secondo l'ultima specifica doveva arrivare a 1.025 hp a 4.500 m, una bella differenza rispetto al Kestrel che potenziava, per esempio, il primo Bf-109. L'Hurricane monoplano, in un fiammante livrea grigio metallica, era in realtà un misto di tecnologie nuove - in termini aerodinamici - come l'ala monoplana, carrello retrattile dalla provvidenziale carreggiata larga, abitacolo chiuso, radio, ma la fusoliera in realtà dietro l'abitacolo era in tubi d'acciaio saldati ricoperti di strutture di legno a cui si accordava la tela verniciata, rimasta tale anche in futuro. L'Hurricane era un formidabile caccia per il 1937, quando entrò in servizio non aveva pari al mondo. Ma non si poteva ignorare che la sua struttura solo parzialmente metallica, e la sua spessa ala non fossero del tutto accettabili per l'evoluzione necessaria per gli anni successivi: anche con motori potenziati, non sarebbe stato possibile superare di molto la velocità dell'Hurricane base.
