The World’s Strike Aircraft

{detailed description}The term 'strike aircraft' is one of comparatively recent origin, though many aircraft which would certainly answer to this description were quite extensively used in the First World War. Generally speaking, it refers to any aeroplane designed to operate against specialised targets, such as surface vessels, submarines, armoured vehicles and fortifications, in low-level attacks or dives. Armed with bombs, guns, rockets, torpedoes and many new types of weapon, these aircraft range from the class generally known as fighter bombers, to dive-bombers, torpedo-carriers and machines largely protected by armour plate, to newly developed types which streak in to attack almost at ground level, and below the cover afforded by warning radar.
