From the very early days Fairey was one of the great names in British aviation, and although its successors no longer build aircraft, the name continues in other aeronautical spheres. During the long period form the 1914-18 war until well after the Second World War, Fairey's name was always associated with British naval aircraft-there was the long series of Fairey IIIs which served the Royal Naval Air Service and the Fleet Air Arm and which in its final form saw widespread service with the RAF before being developed into the Gordon and the Seal.One of the best-remembered and best-loved aeroplanes was the Swordfish-a multi-purpose biplane which outlived its intended successor, the Albacore. Fulmars, Firefly monoplanes and Barracudas all played a wartime role. The final Fairey naval aeroplane was the Gannet-a unique twin-engined aeroplane having the layout and appearance of a single-engined type.All these types, and many others, are fully described and illustrated by photographs and three-view drawings, and there is a complete listing of aircraft by constructor's numbers. H A Taylor worked for the Fairey group and brings personal knowledge of some of its activities and individuals to bear in the writing of this book.
