Description

The Supermarine Seafire: A Naval Aviation Story The Supermarine Seafire was a navalised version of the famous Spitfire adapted for use on aircraft carriers. Built by Supermarine, it played a significant role in several key battles during World War II and the early years of the Cold War. With over 2,600 examples produced, the Seafire saw action with the Royal Navy's Fleet Air Arm from November 1942 until after the Korean War in the early 1950s. It was involved in combat during major operations such as Operation Torch, the Allied invasions of Sicily and Italy, D-Day landings, and Operation Dragoon in southern France. The Seafire proved itself capable of intercepting and destroying Japanese kamikaze attack aircraft with the Pacific fleet, demonstrating its value to the Royal Navy's Fleet Air Arm.
