Operation Judgement by Philip West.
The attack on Taranto was the first major victory for naval air power in the world and blueprint for the strike on Pearl Harbor. The Fleet Air Arm played an active part in the fight against the Axis forces in the Mediterranean. Their greatest achievement was the strike against the Italian Fleet at Taranto, 11 November 1940 by four Fleet Air Arm squadrons and 40 or so men who carried out this daring raid. In this picture we see the Swordfish flown by Lt. FMA Torrense-Spence and Lt. AWF Sutton, having just released its torpedo.

Operation Cerberus - The Channel Dash by Philip West.
The Channel Dash (officially known as Operation Cerberus) was one of three operations during the Second World War for which the Swordfish was to become the most famous. Heavily outgunned in the Straits of Dover on this day in February 1942 by the German warships Scharnhorst, Gneisenau and Prinz Eugen, with their accompanying flotilla of destroyers and motor torpedo boats, and with top cover provided by deadly fighter aircraft of the Luftwaffe, all six Fleet Air Arm Swordfish were shot down. Only five of the eighteen aircrew survived. Here we see the Swordfish flown by Sub. Lt. Kingsmill and Sub. Lt. Samples with PO Bunce in the rear, fighting for their lives with his machine gun.

German battleship Bismarck. Fresh from her triumphant encounter with HMS Hood,
Bismarck was struck by Swordfishs torpedo which jammed her rudder and was

DHM2320. Flight Against the
Bismarck by Philip
West. The Royal
Navys week long chase of the formidable German battleship Bismarck
culminated in the foul evening weather of 26th May 1941. Despite the
deck of HMS Ark Royal pitching through 55 feet, S/Lt John Moffat was one
of fifteen Swordfish pilots who took off to attack Bismarck. After 90
minutes of arduous and turbulent flying the Swordfish found their quarry
and dived through the intense anti-aircraft fire to drop their
torpedoes. One of these hit and jammed Bismarcks rudder and condemned
the battleship to sail in slow circles. The Royal Navys own capital
ships then closed in and pounded Bismarck into a burning wreck.
