照片库的 小贩暴风雨 V at The Royal Air Force Museum at Hendon, The Hawker Tempest was a British fighter aircraft primarily used by the Royal Air Force (RAF) in the Second World War. The Tempest was an improved derivative of the Hawker Typhoon, the type originally being known as the Typhoon II, which was intended to address the Typhoon’s unexpected fall-off of performance at high altitude by replacing its wing with a thinner laminar flow design. Having diverged considerably from the Typhoon, it was chosen to rename the aircraft Tempest. The Tempest emerged as one of the most powerful fighters of the World War II and was the fastest propeller-driven aircraft of the war at low altitude.

The Hawker Tempest V was a British fighter-bomber that saw action in the Second World War. It was developed from the Hawker Typhoon, but had a thinner wing with laminar flow to improve its performance at high altitude and speed. The Tempest V was powered by a 24-cylinder Napier Sabre engine that could produce up to 3,000 horsepower with war emergency power. It had a top speed of 760 km/h at 5,000 meters and a range of 800 km. It was armed with four 20 mm Hispano cannons and could carry two 450 kg bombs or eight rockets.
The Tempest V was one of the most powerful fighters of the war and excelled at low-level interception, especially against the V-1 flying bombs. It also engaged German jet fighters like the Me 262 with success. The Tempest V entered service in 1944 and served with the Royal Air Force, the Indian Air Force, the Royal New Zealand Air Force, and the Pakistan Air Force until 1953.
