Fotogalerie na Hawker Sea Fury, The Mořská zuřivost était un chasseur britannique développé pour la Royal Navy par le constructeur Hawker-Siddeley durant la Seconde Guerre mondiale. Il fut le dernier appareil à hélice de la Royal Navy, l’un des plus rapides monomoteurs à pistons jamais construit, et le dernier chasseur à hélice à abattre un avion à réaction. Le Hawker Fury byl nástupcem Hawker typhoonu a Hawker Tempest. Fury byl navržen v roce 1942 slavným Sidney Cammem v reakci na výběrové řízení vydané Královským letectvem na nahrazení Bouře II. Byl koncipován jako "lehčí Bouře", používal jako starší poloeliptické křídlo nýtované ve středu trupu. Samotný trup byl podobný trupu Tempestu, ale zcela monokok a se zvýšeným kokpitem, aby byl pilot lépe viditelný.

The Hawker Sea Fury was a British carrier-borne fighter-bomber developed during World War II, though it entered service shortly after the war ended. It was the last propeller-driven fighter to serve with the Royal Navy and is considered one of the fastest production single piston-engined aircraft ever built.

Operational History Highlights
The Sea Fury had a distinguished, albeit short, front-line career, most notably:
- Korean War: It was heavily used by the Royal Navy (RN) and Royal Australian Navy (RAN) for ground attack and interdiction sorties.
- Jet Kill: On August 9, 1952, a Sea Fury FB.11, flown by Lieutenant Peter Carmichael, famously shot down a Soviet-built MiG-15 jet fighter, a rare event for a propeller aircraft in the jet age.
- Final Piston Fighter: It was the last piston-engined fighter to serve in the Royal Navy’s Fleet Air Arm before being replaced by early jet fighters like the Hawker Sea Hawk.
Air Racing: Heavily modified Sea Furies remain extremely popular and successful participants in modern air races, such as the Reno Air Races, often setting speed records for piston-powered aircraft.
