HISTORY:

The Fairey Swordfish was a British carrier-based torpedo bomber developed during the 1930s and operated by the Royal Navy's Fleet Air Arm. Despite its seemingly outdated biplane design, the reliable and versatile Swordfish became one of Britain's most famous naval aircraft of the Second World War.

Nicknamed the 'Stringbag' due to the wide variety of weapons and equipment it could carry, the Swordfish took part in several important wartime operations. It played a major role in the successful attack on the Italian fleet at Taranto in 1940 and is particularly remembered for the 1941 pursuit of the German battleship Bismarck, when a Swordfish torpedo attack damaged the battleship's steering and contributed to its eventual sinking.
