Operational Background and Engineering

The Fairey Swordfish was a key naval biplane, noted for its role in actions such as the Battle of Taranto in 1940. Powered by a Bristol Pegasus radial engine and reaching about 220 km/h, the Swordfish combined sturdy construction with the ability to carry torpedoes and other payloads.
