Brief historical overview of the Fairey Firefly

The Fairey Firefly is a British carrier-based fighter-reconnaissance aircraft used by the Royal Navy during World War II and in post-war conflicts such as the Korean War. The aircraft made its combat debut during Allied operations in the Far East (Pacific Theatre). The Firefly became famous, among other things, in 1945 during attacks on Japanese installations in Okinawa and when escorting bomber formations.
