00:00 The Supermarine Sea Fire was a carrier-based fighter aircraft developed from the Supermarine

00:04 Spitfire, one of the most famous fighters of World War II.

00:07 The name Sea Fire was a shortened form of Sea Spitfire.

00:11 The Sea Fire was designed to operate from the decks of aircraft carriers, which required

00:15 several modifications such as folding wings, strengthened landing gear, and an arrestor

00:19 hook.

00:20 The Sea Fire first flew in January 1942 and entered service later that year.

00:25 It saw action in various theaters of war, including the Mediterranean, the Pacific,

00:30 and the Normandy landings.

00:31 The Sea Fire was praised for its performance and maneuverability, but also suffered from

00:35 some drawbacks such as a short range, a fragile undercarriage, and a tendency to bounce on

00:40 landing.

00:41 The Sea Fire was produced in several variants, with different engines and armaments.

00:45 The most advanced version was the Sea Fire FMK-47, which had a powerful Griffin engine,

00:51 a five-bladed propeller, and a distinctive wing shape.

00:54 The Sea Fire was retired from service in the 1950s, after serving in the Korean War and

00:58 other conflicts.
