The Hawker Typhoon Mk. Ib is a legendary British RAF fighter-bomber extensively used during World War II by the United Kingdom’s armed forces. It gained fame for its successful operations during the Normandy invasion in 1944, serving in ground attack roles against targets such as armored columns and artillery positions. "Bubbletop" refers to the characteristic bulged canopy, which provided the pilot with better visibility. The Hawker Typhoon was produced and operated between 1941 and 1945, playing a key role as one of the Allies’ most important ground attack aircraft in the final stage of World War II.
