The Hawker Fury was perhaps the most beautiful biplane fighter ever built, and was the RAF's first aircraft capable of exceeding 200mph in level flight. Together with its naval counterpart, the Nimrod, the Fury served with many air forces right up until the beginning of World War II. In RAF service, the Fury sported all the highly colourful squadron markings of the day, and then went into camouflage as war approached. This book describes the design, development and service of the Fury and Nimrod, with all the airforces that used them.
