The Hawker Sea Fury was a British fighter aircraft developed for the Royal Navy by Hawker during the Second World War. The last propeller-driven fighter to serve with the Royal Navy, it was also one of the fastest production single piston-engined aircraft ever built.
Exported to a number of countries, it acquitted itself well in the Korean War even against the MiG-15 jet aircraft.

Famous quotes containing the words sea and/or fury:
“As the tide crept, the land
burned with a lizard-blue
where the dark sea met the sand.”
—Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)
“At about that time I was once sitting at my place and whispering—it was naughty, I know—with my neighbor. Then you, Herr Professor Rudner, got up from your desk, came calmly down the aisle to me: “Did you speak?” and slapped me smack in the face. And I—the fury is inside me to this day—I didn’t hit back. Such were the methods of objectivity.”
—Alfred Döblin (1878–1957)
