Fairey Fulmar: The fleet fighter that 'held the line'
The Fairey Fulmar fleet fighter represents a turning point in naval aviation. The all-metal low-wing monoplane was an emergency stop-gap program initiated in the late 1930s to fill a heavy fighter gap in the Royal Navy. It was built to be a reconnaissance aircraft capable of defending the fleet against long-range bombers and spotters before the advent of radar. But, in World War II, it was asked to do much, much more.
