Fairey Barracuda
The Fairey Barracuda was a British carrier-borne torpedo- and dive bomber used during the Second World War the first of its type to be fabricated entirely from metal. It was introduced to the Fleet Air Arm as a replacement for the Fairey Swordfish and Fairey Albacore biplanes. It is notable for its role in attacking the German battleship Tirpitz and known for its unusual appearance when the undercarriage was extended and wings folded.
Aircraft History: The Fairey Barracuda was an ungainly looking
aircraft that served in the Atlantic and Far East campaigns of World
War II as a dual-role torpedo and dive bomber.1
