Fairey Fulmar Carrier Reconnaissance and Fighter Family
The Fairey Fulmar was a two-seat Fleet Air Arm monoplane built for carrier reconnaissance and fighter work. Its long range, naval equipment, and rear crew position made it a practical escort and patrol aircraft during the early Second World War, while the Mk II introduced a more suitable Merlin installation before the type was replaced by faster single-seat naval fighters.
