The Fairey Swordfish was perhaps the most unlikely hero of World War II. A biplane with a fabric-covered frame, fixed landing gear, and an open cockpit, it looked more suited for the skies of 1918 than the modern battlefield of the 1940s. #ww2 #aviation #military #aircraft #pilot | World War II Aircraft
