The Fairey Firefly is a British fighter-reconnaissance aircraft from the Second World War, used by the Royal Navy Fleet Air Arm. It made its mark during operations in Europe, including missions over Norway, as well as in the Pacific theater during combat against the Japanese fleet. These aircraft also served in the postwar period, with many variants remaining in active service into the 1950s. One of the Firefly’s key advantages was the use of 20mm Hispano Mk II cannons, which were standard armament on many British planes of that era.
