U.K. Hawker Typhoon Tactical Bomber

The Hawker Typhoon was developed as a British fighter but became especially effective in the ground-attack role during the Second World War. Its powerful engine and ability to carry bombs or rockets supported attacks on transport, positions, and other battlefield targets. Typhoon units were prominent in northwest Europe, including the Normandy campaign. The aircraft’s operational development involved serious early technical difficulties, making its eventual attack role a different story from a straightforward successful interceptor program from the beginning.

Early development difficulties gave way to an effective low-altitude fighter-bomber role. Cannon, bombs, and rockets allowed Typhoon squadrons to attack transport, communications, and battlefield targets, especially during the Allied campaign in northwestern Europe.
