The Fairey Fulmar is a
British carrier-borne reconnaissance aircraft/fighter aircraft. It was named
after the northern fulmar, a seabird native to the British Isles. The Fulmar
served with the Royal Navy's Fleet Air Arm (FAA) during WWII.
A total of 600 were built by Fairey Aviation at its Stockport factory between January 1940 and December 1942. The Fulmar's design was based on that of the earlier Fairey P.4/34 that was in turn developed in 1936 as a replacement for the Fairey Battle light bomber. Although its performance (like that of its Battle antecedent) was lacking, the Fulmar was a reliable, sturdy aircraft with long range and an effective eight machine gun armament.
