The Blackburn Firebrand was a British single-engine strike fighter for the Fleet Air Arm of the Royal Navy designed during World War II by Blackburn Aircraft. Originally intended to serve as a pure fighter, its unimpressive performance and the priority allocation by the Ministry of Aircraft Production of Napier Sabre engines to the Hawker Typhoon caused it to be redesigned with an alternative engine as a strike fighter to take advantage of its load-carrying capability. Development was slow and the first production aircraft was not delivered until after the end of the war. Only a few hundred were built before it was withdrawn from front-line service in 1953.
AG1 for Canopy, AG2 for arresting hook. VTOL down for flaps, trim for trim. Armed with 1 General purpose 1000 lb bomb and 2 general purpose 500 lb bombs, and 4 Hispano 20mm cannons.
