Introduced into service with the British Royal Navy in the 1920s and early 1930s, it became the standard carrier-based aircraft of the British Navy. It proved to be a highly successful design – known for excellent maneuverability, short landing run and great ease of handling, which made it a favorite among pilots. In addition to the land-based version, a floatplane variant was also produced, enabling catapult launches from warships.
