		The Supermarine Attacker was a single-seat jet fighter of the Fleet Air Arm (FAA), built by the Supermarine company, and was the first jet fighter of the FAA.
		The design of the Attacker used the straight-wings of the Supermarine Spiteful, a piston-engined fighter intended to replace the legendary Supermarine Spitfire, but which never did; with just under twenty aircraft eventually being built.
		Just one such deficiency was that the Attacker had a tail-wheel undercarriage, rather than a nose-wheel undercarriage, thus making the Attacker difficult to land on aircraft carriers.

		The Supermarine Attacker, the first jet fighter in squadron service with the Fleet Air Arm, is a study in the official procrastination that seemed to dominate the British aviation industry in the years immediately following the end of the Second World War.
		By that November, Supermarine's continuing inability to resolve the low speed handling problems of the Spiteful finally came to the attention of their Lordships of the Admiralty, and it was decided the order for the 24 airplanes was premature; the contract was cancelled with the Admiralty requesting further development of the shipboard fighter be suspended.
		Frog released an Attacker in 1/72 scale in the mid-1950s, which was slightly updated with landing gear and a pilot who was more than a head atop the fuselage in the early 1960s.

		The Supermarine Spitfire was a single seat fighter used by the RAF and many Allied countries in World War II.
		The Spitfire's elliptical wings gave it a very distinctive look; their thin cross-section gave it speed; the brilliant design of Chief Designer R.J. Mitchell and his successors (he died in 1937) meant the Spitfire was loved by its pilots.
		The Supermarine Type 224 did not live up to expectations; nor did any of the competing designs which were also deemed failures.

		The board was of the opinion that the 3 rd familiarisation flight in an Attacker requires much more careful briefing, particular on the peculiar characteristics of the Attacker to nose down when reaching the compressibility range.

		The Supermarine Attacker was designed in response to 1944 Specification E.10/44 for a quick-build fighter that would use the Rolls Royce Nene engine.
		Supermarine's approach to this quick turnaround requirement was to use the existing wing and landing gear of the Spiteful.
		In the end, 181 Attackers were produced, with the first entering service in 1951 after a number of bugs were worked out of the aircraft.

		The Supermarine Attacker was the first jet-powered fighter standardised for carrier-borne operations by the Fleet Air Arm, in spite of it originally being designed as a land based fighter.
		The design was not fully original, as it combined the wings and landing gear of the Supermarine Spiteful with a new fuselage and tail unit.
		It was powered by a Rolls-Royce Nene turbojet, that was large in diameter and essentially dictated the shape of the airframe it was to be housed in.

		The first operational naval jet fighter was the Supermarine Attacker, which went to sea on HMS EAGLE with 800 Sqn.
		The Attacker was not a successful design, a contributory factor being its use of a tail wheel undercarriage arrangement rather than the nosewheel arrangement which was to become standard.
		The Attacker began to be replaced by the Sea Hawk in 1954, but was retained by Royal Naval Volunteer Reserve (RNVR) units until 1957, and by the Pakistani air force until the type was replaced by F-86 Sabres in the early 60's

		The Royal Navy officially joined the 'Jet Age' in 1951 when the Supermarine Attacker entered service with the Fleet Air Arm.
		Featured are the Supermarine Attacker and Scimitar; the de Havilland Sea Venom, Sea Hawk and Sea Vixen; the Blackburn Buccaneer; the McDonnell Douglas Phantom and, of course, the Sea Harrier - Britain's last fighter, which brought VSTOL capability to the decks of the Royal Navy's aircraft carriers.

		The first stage in the evolution of the Swift was the Supermarine 510 (VV106) which was intended as a high speed fighter built to specification E.38/46; it flew on 29 December 1948.
		In due course it was fitted with an arrestor hook and as the Supermarine 517 made carrier deck landings on HMS Illustrious.
		Via the Supermarine types 510 and 535, the Swift evolved from the straight-wing Attacker; 100 were ordered in 1950 and another 100 from Short and Harland in 1952.

		It also retained the tailwheel undercarriage, which was not very fit for a jet aircraft.
		The Attacker was a very unsophisticated jet fighter, especially taking into account that it was a contemporary of the MiG-15 and F-86 Sabre.
		The performance was insufficient to attract RAF interest, but the RN used 145 of them and 36 were sold to Pakistan.
