The Sea Fury was perhaps the embodiment of the last generation of piston-engined fighters – sleek, light, powerful, fast, and maneuverable. These particular attributes were precisely what had been called for thirty-years previously when the RAF wanted something akin to the Fw 190 that was then plaguing their Spitfires, but also to go up against the nimble Japanese fighters over the South East Asia and Western Pacific theatres. Just too late for that war, the Sea Fury proved itself in combat over the skies of Korea; even downing a MiG-15 to prove its dogfighting abilities. Coming at the sunset of the piston fighter era, the Sea Fury had a relatively short service life. This new MDF Scaled Down from acclaimed author Paul Bradley brings to life the full story of the Sea Fury, with concise and authoritative text, historic photographs, colour artwork, a walk around and schematic diagrams.
