| The Hawker Typhoon was the result of Air Ministry specification ''F.18/37'', which reached final form in early 1938 and specified a heavily armed interceptor to destroy heavy long-range escort fighters. The specification called for an armament of twelve 7.7 millimeter (0.303 caliber) Browning machine guns, or preferably four 20 millimeter cannon if development of these weapons then in progress proceeded on course. Such heavy armament meant a heavy aircraft and so a very powerful engine. The texture is for John Robert Baldwin,top scoring fighter ace flying Typhoons, who claimed 15 aircraft shot down during 1942–44. |
