Phil H. Listemann The Hawker Tempest Mk V

Produktbeskrivelse

The Hawker Tempest was derived from the Hawker Typhoon. The new design was tested with various engines and eventually the Mk V was the first to enter service making its operational debut in January 1944 with the ADGB. The Tempest participated actively to the V-1 hunt during the summer of 1944, then the Tempest was sent to the Continent to join the 2TAF. During the war eight fighter squadrons became operational on Tempest including Nos 33, 80, 222, 274 and 501 Squadrons which were the last to convert. Over 50 photos illustrate the book alongside thirteen colour profiles and one colour plate.
