INFORMATION
The Hawker Sea Fury was the fastest piston-engined fighter to serve with the Commonwealth armed services.
Deliveries began in mid 1947 and by the outbreak of the Korean War in 1950, Sea Furies were engag- ing enemy aircraft and ground targets in that campaign. It was a Sea Fury of No. 802 Squadron Fleet Air Arm that shot down the first MiG-15 jet fighter over Korean waters in 1952.
Like the Skyraider of the Vietnam conflict, the Sea Fury proved to be a very effective ground-attack aircraft in the Korean War. Sea Fury aircraft are still flying in the U.S.A., Canada, Britain and Australia's restored warbirds..
It served with the Royal Navy, Canada, Australia, Holland, Pakistan, Iraq, Cuba, Burma, Egypt, Ger- many and Morocco.
