hawker typhoon 3D 模型

描述

the typhoon was a british single-seat fighter-bomber, produced by hawker aircraft starting in 1941. although it was intended to be a replacement for the hawker hurricane in the interceptor role, the typhoon underwent a long gestation period, eventually evolving into one of the second world war's most successful ground-attack aircraft. in raf slang, the typhoon was nicknamed the tiffy.

the typhoon became famous when armed with four \"60 lb\" rp-3 rockets under each wing—the so-called \"rocketphoons.\" in october 1943, no. 181 squadron made the first typhoon rocket strikes. although the rocket projectiles were inaccurate and took some considerable skill to aim properly and allow for the drop after firing, the sheer firepower of just one typhoon was equivalent to a destroyer's broadside. the top speed of the typhoon was reduced by some 15 mph by the non-jettisionable rocket rails. by the end of 1943, 18 rocket-equipped typhoon squadrons formed the basis of the raf's second tactical air force ground attack arm in europe.

by d-day, in june 1944, the raf had 26 operational squadrons of typhoon ibs. the aircraft proved itself to be the most effective raf tactical strike aircraft, both on interdiction raids against communications and transport targets deep in north western europe prior to the invasion, and in direct support of the allied ground forces after d-day.
