Affectionately known as the Stringbag by its crews, the Fairey Swordfish is one of WWII's most iconic and recognisable biplane aircraft. Introduced into the Royal Navy's Fleet Air Arm service in 1936, it wasnt operationally retired until May 1945, and despite its obsolescent and antiquated looks, outlived several more modern types intended to replace it, remaining in frontline service through to the end of the war in Europe. A British classic, this is another illustration and photographs publication.
