Hawker Sea Fury aircraft are the ultimate development of British piston engine fighter aircraft. They are the world's fastest production single piston engine aircraft.
The aircraft was conceived as a more compact version of its predecessor. It was built as a land based and naval aircraft. It originally flew in September of 1944.
Although the Royal Air Force lost interest in the land based aircraft by that time, the Royal Navy wanted it.
It was during the Korean War that the Hawker Sea Fury first saw action when where one downed a North Korean jet. They remained in Naval service, but began being replaced by jet aircraft starting in 1953.
The aircraft also served with the Naval Reserve until 1957. Today a number of Hawker Sea Furys can be seen in air shows and in air racing. A total of 860 of the aircraft were produced.
