Designed initially to replace the Hurricane as a complimentary fighter to the Supermarine Spitfire, the Typhoon instead found its fame as a low altitude ground attack aircraft, spearheading the airborne assault through occupied Europe after D-Day. Designed around the enormous 24 cylinder Napier Sabre engine, the Typhoon has a tough gestation before maturing as a capable, low level fighter bomber, devastating German armour in Normany and beyond.
