	The Pioneers : An Anthology : Harry George Hawker (1889 - 1921)
		Hawker believed that in England he would soon learn to fly and the young man of scarcely 22 years of age left his native shores hoping of success in the new sphere and perhaps at the same time wondering if he was doing the right thing.
		Hawker was met by friends soon after the `Maloja' had berthed and was taken to the St Kilda Town Hall, where he was greeted by the Mayor of St Kilda and citizens and councillors from St Kilda, Brighton and Moorabbin.

		Hawker and the RAF were stuck with the Typhoon.
		Hawker concentrated on the Sea Fury for the Royal Navy, since the admirals felt they needed to stay with piston fighters for a few years until the complications of operating jet aircraft from carriers were worked out.
		The Sea Fury remained the foremost FAA single-seat fighter until it began to be replaced by the Hawker Sea Hawk in 1953.

	Hawker Typhoon
		Intended as a replacement for the Hawker Hurricane in the interceptor role, it suffered from performance problems, and it instead evolved into one of World War II's most successful strike fighters.
		The two resulting models became known as the 'R' and 'N' (based on the engine manufacturer) and were very similar – the Vulture powered R plane had a rounder nose profile and a ventral radiator, whereas the Sabre powered N had a flatter deck and a chin mounted radiator.
		The basic design of both continued the Hawker tradition of using 'older' construction techniques; the front fuselage was welded steel just like the Hurricane, and the design used a massive 40 foot wing that was much thicker than those on designs like the Spitfire.

		The Hawker Hurricane is a fighter design from the 1930s which was used extensively by the Royal Air Force during the Battle of Britain.
		Following traditional Hawker (A person who breeds and trains hawks and who follows the sport of falconry) construction techniques closely, it used a large measure of wood and fabric for the wings and fuselage, with the engine and cockpit area being aluminum-covered steel tubing.
		During the Battle of Britain the Hurricane accounted for the majority of the planes shot down by the RAF, being vectored against the slower bombers whilst the Spitfires kept the defending German fighters occupied, but their day was already over.

	Hawker (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Hawker had long since established itself as a maker of very good fighter aircraft, dating back to World War I. In 1933, the chief designer of Hawker, Sydney Camm, proposed a design of a new monoplane largely based upon the Hawker Fury biplane, to be powered by the Rolls Royce Goshawk engine.
		Hawker’s Sydney Camm set to work and he and his team designed a fighter that would be tested with each engine.
		Hawker’s new design proposal was submitted to the Air Ministry who, in turn issued Specification F.10/41.

		Hawker got the go-ahead to build a prototype and began work on it in mid-1935, but the company's preoccupation with the Hurricane meant that the prototype of the "Henley", as it was called, didn't perform its first flight until 10 March 1937.

	FlightSim.Com Review: Hawker Sea Fury
		Descended from the wartime Typhoon and Tempest, the Sea Fury debuted in September 1946, too late to participate in WWII.
		Sea Furies did however fly in the Korean War and on the 9th of August 1952, Sea Fury pilot LT Carmichael of the Fleet Air arm was credited with downing a North Korean MiG 15.
		In flight, the handling is very well balanced and the Fury seems extremely smooth and agile for such a heavy aircraft.

	Hawker Sea Fury - naval fighter (D Llewellyn James)
		The Sea Fury was the British Fleet Air Arm's last piston-engined fighter.
		The Typhoon and Tempest exemplified the wartime trend towards bigger and heavier fighters, and the design of the Fury was centred around the attempt to counteract this trend.
		The Fury made its first prototype flight in February 1945, but the first production aircraft - a Mark 10 - did not make its initial flight until September 1946.
