Tthe 페어리 알바코어 1939 년에서 1943 년 사이에 Fairey Aviation이 Royal Navy Fleet Air Arm을 위해 제작했으며 제 2 차 세계 대전 중에 사용 된 영국의 단일 엔진 어뢰 폭격기였습니다. 3명의 승무원이 있었고 탐지 및 정찰은 물론 레벨, 다이빙 및 어뢰 폭격을 위해 설계되었습니다. "Applecore"로 널리 알려진 Albacore는 1936년에 서비스를 시작한 Fairey Swordfish를 대체하기 위해 고안되었습니다. 그러나 Albacore는 Swordfish와 함께 사용되었으며 1944 년부터 Fairey Barracuda와 Grumman Avenger라는 두 개의 단엽 비행기 디자인으로 대체되었습니다.

General Characteristics
The Fairey Albacore was a British single-engine, three-seat carrier-based torpedo bomber biplane used by the Fleet Air Arm (FAA) during World War II. Designed in response to Air Ministry specification S.41/36, it was intended as a modern replacement for the legendary but older Fairey Swordfish. The Albacore introduced several advancements over the Swordfish, including an enclosed and heated cockpit, hydraulic flaps, and a variable-pitch propeller. Despite these improvements, it ultimately served alongside, and was retired before, the Swordfish, being eventually replaced by the monoplane Fairey Barracuda.
