Historical reference
The Fairey Flycatcher is a British, on-board fighter and seaplane with fixed undercarriage in the biplane configuration from the interwar period. The flight of the prototype took place in 1922, and serial production continued in the years 1923-1926. Approximately 200 examples of this plane were created in its course. The drive was provided by a single Armstrong Siddeley Jaguar IV engine with a capacity of 400 HP. The deck armament consisted of two 7.7 mm Vickers machine guns. The machine could also carry a load of bombs weighing up to 36 kilograms.
The Fairey Flycatcher was commissioned by the Royal Navy, which aimed to replace the Gloster Nightjar aircraft with a completely new structure, also adapted to the homing and operation of aircraft carriers. The Fairey Flycatcher therefore turned out to be one of the first built from scratch on-board fighter! The plane was also a successful construction, which was characterized by good flight characteristics, very good maneuverability, and especially a short landing route. He was also liked by pilots due to the ease of piloting it. The Fairey Flycatcher became the staple of British carrier fighter in the 1920s and early 1930s. In addition to the version adapted to operate from aircraft carriers, a seaplane with a fixed-float landing gear was also developed, adapted to operating from air catapults.
