Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
The Hawker Sea Fury is a bit of a mystery to most aircraft enthusiasts. If they're familiar with Hawker and Sydney Camm's designs, this plane - the Royal Navy's last prop-driven fighter - is known to them, though not with much detail. Reno racing fanatics also know the Fury and the Sea Fury, but to air racing fans the Hawker design is just an airframe on which to hang the most powerful piston engine and biggest propeller possible. Warbird Tech Volume 37.

Rated by buyers -
For any fan of the Reno Unlimited races or any dye-hard aviation nut, nothing sounds nicer than the bariton hum of the Bristol Centaurus piston engine of the Hawker Sea Fury. Produced only after the end of WW2, the Sea Fury is one of the best single engine fighter planes ever produced by the British aviation industry before the Hunter jet from the same company. The present book provides a good amount of historical information, ample B&W illustrations and a good mix of close-ups and technical drawings all of which should please modelers as well. Kev Darling's work is well researched and even details today's privately owned Sea Furies in the USA and out of country. A good book.
