AIRCRAFT BIO:The Hawker Typhoon is a British single-seat fighter-bomber, produced by Hawker Aircraft and nicknamed "Bomphoon" by the press.[3] It was intended to be a medium-high altitude interceptor, as a replacement for the Hawker Hurricane, but several design problems were encountered, and it never completely satisfied this requirement.[4]The Typhoon was originally designed to mount twelve .303 inch (7.7 mm) Browning machine guns and be powered by the latest 2,000 hp (1,500 kW) engines. Its service introduction in mid-1941 was plagued with problems and for several months the aircraft faced a doubtful future.[4] When the Luftwaffe brought the new Focke-Wulf Fw 190 into service in 1941, the Typhoon was the only RAF fighter capable of catching it at low altitudes; as a result, it secured a new role as a low-altitude interceptor.[5]The Typhoon became established in roles such as night-time intruder and long-range fighter.[6] From late 1942 the Typhoon was equipped with bombs and from late 1943 RP-3 rockets were added to its armory. With those weapons and its four 20 mm Hispano autocannons, the Typhoon became one of the Second World War's most successful ground-attack aircraft.[7]Role Fighter-bomber National origin United Kingdom Manufacturer Hawker Aircraft Designer Sydney Camm Built by Gloster Aircraft Company First flight 24 February 1940 Introduction 11 September 1941 Retired October 1945 Primary users Royal Air Force Royal Canadian Air Force Royal New Zealand Air Force Produced 1941–1945 Number built 3,317[1][2] Developed from Hawker Tornado Developed into Hawker Tempest
