Hawker Tempest And Sea Fury (1989) By Robert Jackson
 
This book is a compact yet richly illustrated volume that delves into two of Britain's most formidable piston-engined fighters of WWII and the post-war era. Jackson situates both aircraft within the broader evolution of British aviation, tracing the Tempest's development from the Typhoon and the Sea Fury's emergence as one of the fastest single-prop fighters ever built. It includes specifications, performance data, and design features, ideal for readers with a technical or engineering interest. Tempest focuses on its role in intercepting V-1 flying bombs and engaging Luftwaffe fighters in the final stages of WWII, and the Sea Fury covers its post-war service, notably in Korea, and its naval adaptations.
