(in article ):



That's not a Skua, Skuas had radial engines. That's a Fairey Fulmar. Two
seats (pilot and navigator), eight .303 Colt-Browning machine guns, one
Rolls-Royce Merlin engine. ****-poor speed, rate of turn. Meat on the table
for a Bf-109, much less a Zero. Best fighter the RN had until the Sea
Hurricane. (Which should say all that needs be said about the Fulmar's
capabilities as a fighter.)

Could have been worse. Could have been its cousin, the Battle.
