Default Typhoon Documentary

Nicknamed the Tiffy in RAF slang, the Typhoon's service introduction in mid-1941 was also plagued with problems,
and for several months the aircraft faced a doubtful future.However,
in 1941 the Luftwaffe brought the formidable Focke-Wulf Fw 190 into service:
the Typhoon was the only fighter in the RAF inventory capable of catching the Fw 190 at low altitudes and, as a result,
secured a new role as a low-altitude interceptor.
Through the support of pilots such as Roland Beamont the Typhoon also established itself in roles such as night-time intruder and a long-range fighter. From late 1942
the Typhoon was equipped with bombs; from late 1943 ground attack rockets were added to the Typhoon's armoury.
Using these two weapons, the Typhoon became one of the Second World War's most successful ground-attack aircraft.


Interesting documentary.

Hope you enjoy it as much as I have.
