                       Hawker Typhoon

Hawker Typhoon byl britský jednomístný stíhací letoun sloužící v britském RAF během druhé světové války. V průběhu druhé poloviny války se z něj stal jeden z nejúspěšnějších letounů používaných při útocích na pozemní cíle

The Hawker Typhoon (Tiffy in RAF slang) is a British single-seat fighter-bomber, produced by Hawker Aircraft. It was intended to be a medium–high altitude interceptor, as a replacement for the Hawker Hurricane but several design problems were encountered and it never completely satisfied this requirement.
