US Naval Aviation Training Division
Royal Air Force Fairey Albacore Torpedo Reconnaissance (WW2)
Aeroplane recognition poster, 1942
63x47cm
A particularly unusual style of aeroplane identification poster, owing to the very arty images. Most such posters rely on very plain silhouettes, this series - and we have several in this series - have a much more arty approach to the task with shading and an interesting angle view.
Conceived as a replacement for the Farey Sworfish, the Albacore (or 'Applecore' as it was known) had a crew of three and was designed for spotting and reconnaisance as well as dive, level, and torpedo bombing. It in fact retired in 1944 before the Swordfish. A carrier-based aircarft, it made the Fleet Air Arm's only attack on the German battleship Tirpitz - which failed with the loss of two aircraft and damage to many others. Upon resitrement, the Royal Canadian Air Force took over the Albacores using them in the Normandy invasion.
