Historical note:

THE FLEET AIR ARM IN THE FIFTIES
The establishment of the RCN Fleet Air Arm after the Second World War and its initial phase of development in the late forties led to a period in the 1950s were the navy's carrier capabilities advanced further. The harbinger of this process was the acceptance of newer and more effective carrier aircraft such as the Hawker Sea Fury. The Fury was the fastest propellor driven fighter developed and proved a exceptional, if at times difficult to handle, carrier borne aircraft.
