Issue Description

This is the story of the Fairey Swordfish torpedo dive-bomber…an out-dated biplane at first glance, yet still a very powerful weapon in the arsenal of the Fleet Air Arm. For, unlike many other planes, they could take a lot of punishment and still fly. Their crews scoured the seas, their mission to seek out and sink enemy shipping – often with spectacular results!

Note: Original released as Commando No 2252 (February 1989) and re-issued as No 3779 (January 2005).
