During World War II, the Hawker Typhoon ranked among Britains "heavy hitters"playing a pivotal role in the Allied victory in Europe. Yet, overshadowed by numerous problems that plagued it throughout its service life, this massive aircraft is often dismissed as a failure. Now, more than 85 years after its maiden flight, the author examines the operational history and technical evolution of a fighter that found its true calling as a low-level ground-attack aircrafta machine that inspired fear and awe not only in the enemy but also in the pilots who flew and knew it.
