Description
This book examines the last generation of high-performance British propeller-driven fighters, including types such as the Firecrest, late mark Spitfires, Seafires, Spiteful, Seafang, Sea Fury, and late mark Tempests. It discusses the engines involved, including the Rolls-Royce Merlin and Napier Sabre, and the advancements in propeller technology. Each fighter type is detailed regarding its development and testing. The book highlights how this era of piston fighter development reached its peak before being overshadowed by the advent of jet engines, with a focus on the unique case of the Westland Wyvern as a turboprop example.
