The Typhoon served the Allied Armies in WWII, This low level bomber helped the Allies to victory on D-Day, June 6th 1944, by conducting bombing runs on German communication installations and coastal shipping lanes. The plane flew at 405 mph, generated by it's 2,180- hp engine. It carried four 20-mm cannon in wings , and eight 60 lbs. rocket projectiles or two 1000 lbs. bombs.
Designed by Sydney Camm for the British Air Ministry, the Typhoon was first flown on February 24th, 1940. The large under-fuselage chin radiator gave the Typhoon a menacing look, and was its most notable identifying physical feature. Powered by a Napier Sabre 24 cylinder engine-which gave it a top speed in excess of 400 mph-and fitted with air-to-ground rockets and two underwing bombs, it made an exceptional fighter-bomber hybrid. The Typhoon could engage ground targets and still hold its own against German bombers and fighters. It proved especially adept at engaging marauding Fw-190 on the British coast. © Copyright 2003-2025 The Flying Mule, Inc.
