Supermarine Seafire
Naval development of the Spitfire. The Seafire was not the ideal carrier fighter and especially landings were difficult; but its performance compensated for the disadvantages. The Seafire had a short range, but its fast climb and agility made it a very good fleet defense fighter. The last Seafire version Mk 47 was used in the Korean war, and retired in 1952.
