The Hawker Tempest made the Axis engineers' hair stand on end during the Second World War. With some 800 models built, the MK V of the Tempest series established itself from 1944 onwards as the most powerful fighter or fighter-bomber of the Allied powers. As one of the fastest fighter?uges of the Second World War, the propeller-driven Tempest V was able to hold its own even against the German jet fighter Me262. It became famous as the "V1 fighter". With a top speed of up to 696 km/h, this Jagd?ugzeug was able to track and shoot down Marsch?ugkörper before they could do any damage
