Product description

T

The next book in the Classics series is in full preparation and is on the legendary Fairey Swordfish. A product of the interbellum, the Swordfish finds itself in between the era of the biplane and the aircraft designed for the Second World War. The Swordfish was a carrier-borne torpedo bomber and first flew in the Spring of 1934. A total of 2.391 were built, 692 by Fairey and 1.699 by Blackburn. This 5th book in the series brings a complete portrait of the aircraft that became famous for the attacks on the Bismarck battleship and the port of Taranto. No detail is overlooked, from the wings, engine, cockpit and fuselage to the landing gear. Action photos of the two sole surviving Swordfish were possible thanks to a close collaboration with Navy Wings, based at Yeovilton, where the aircraft are kept in fantastic condition.

This book will be available by the end of February 2026
