Historical Information

Hawker Typhoon Mk IB was a British fighter-bomber operated by the Royal Air Force during World War II. The “Bubbletop” version was distinguished by a characteristic glazed cockpit with a dome-shaped “bubble canopy,” which improved pilot visibility. Typhoons played a key role as close support aircraft, effectively attacking armored columns and ground targets during the Normandy campaign in 1944.
