Historical description and application

The Hawker Tempest Mk. V was one of the most powerful British fighters of the final stage of World War II (1944-1945). Its introduction into the Royal Air Force (RAF) arsenal significantly contributed to breaking the dominance of German jets and V-1 rockets. The Tempest Mk.V Series 1 was distinguished by characteristic reinforcing plates on the fuselage, early car-door style canopies and heavy armament. These aircraft were widely used for bomber escort, intercepting V-1 flying bombs, and air combat over Western Europe. JN751, piloted by the famous Wing Commander R.P. Beaumont, made its mark in history through successful actions against the Luftwaffe and the Third Reich's vengeance weapons.
