TYPHOON ATTACK :: Special Offers :: Other Categories

History of the rocket-firing fighter that helped win the Second World War from the D-Day beaches into Germany based on interviews with the men who flew the Typhoon.

The Typhoon was aptly named: the fast and furious late Second World War fighter cannoned and whooshed through the skies like a wild charging colt rather than the well-behaved thoroughbred that was the Spitfire. Author Norman Franks has based his account of the aircraft on interviews with pilots who flew the powerful if unpredictable plane. Readers of his exciting narrative fly in the Typhoon’s cockpit as it screams low over the fields of France and Belgium in the latter days of the war. The Typhoon certainly packed a punch - slamming 60-lb high explosive rockets into targets ranging from enemy ground conviys to radar and Vi launch sites to enemy aircraft. The author shows why the plane was such a vital and war-winning weapon as the tide of wear rolled from the Normandy beaches into Germany itself. Illustrated with a large range of photographs of the Typhoon and the men who flew it.
