The Swordfish was a torpedo bomber built by the Fairey Aviation Company and used by the Royal Navy's Fleet Air Arm during World War II.
By 1939, it was obsolete but achieved some spectacular successes during the war, including the destruction of the Regia Marina (the Italian Navy) at the Battle of Taranto and the famous destruction of the Bismarck.
It was used primarily as a naval attack aircraft, but later also for anti-submarine warfare and as a trainer. Nearly 2,400 Swordfish were built, 692 by Fairey and 1,699 by the Blackburn Aircraft Company in Sherburn.
The most commonly built version was the Mark II, of which 1,080 were produced.
