The Model and Its History

The Supermarine Attacker F.1 was the first carrier-based jet fighter to serve in the Royal Navy Fleet Air Arm (United Kingdom). The aircraft was used primarily between 1946 and 1954, during the early Cold War and just after the end of World War II. The Attacker’s characteristic features include a classic yet rectangular fuselage shape with tailwheel landing gear and a Rolls-Royce Nene engine. The aircraft was developed based on Supermarine’s earlier experience with piston-powered fighters but was designed specifically with jet propulsion in mind.
