Coming soon from The Crowood Press and author Matthew Willis is Fairey Fulmar: The Fleet Air Arm’s Unlikely Hero, billed as “the remarkable story of how a make-do fighter proved itself indispensable in the harshest theatres of war.”
Fairey Fulmar –The Fleet Air Arm’s Unlikely Hero charts, for the first time, the full history of the Fairey Fulmar naval fighter. A hastily converted light bomber, rejected by the RAF and increasingly obsolete against Messerschmitts and Zeroes, somehow the Fulmar became the top-scoring Royal Navy fighter aircraft of World War II. This first comprehensive study of the Fulmar’s design, development and operational service.
The 176 page, hardcover book is currently available for pre-order with release set for February 9, 2027.
