A monograph on the British Swordfish carrier-borne torpedo biplane, volume number 12 of the British Warpaint series, by W A Harrison. It is a printed publication about the aircraft, not a kit and not an accessory for a build. The series is set up so that one volume covers one type from the prototype to the last version — through archive photographs, color profiles and scale drawings.
The Swordfish was already obsolete when it entered service, a biplane with fabric covering and a Bristol Pegasus radial engine, and even so it has two of the most famous attacks of naval aviation to its credit. In November 1940 its torpedoes hit the Italian ships at Taranto, and in May 1941 one of them damaged the rudder of the battleship Bismarck and so decided her fate. Crews called it the Stringbag because of the amount of equipment it carried. In the second half of the war it moved to escort carriers, where it hunted submarines with radar and unguided rockets — and it outlasted in service the type that was to replace it.
Above all for modelers who are building a model of this type and are looking for reference on the colors, the markings and the details of a particular machine. Then for aviation historians and collectors of monographs, who will find the series a quick and clear reference handbook to a single type. The text is in English, so a basic command of the language is assumed.
