The Hawker Typhoon was a powerful British fighter-bomber that played a crucial role in World War II, especially during the D-Day landings and the subsequent battles in Normandy. Known for its robust design and heavy firepower, including bombs and rockets, the Typhoon became a dedicated ground attack aircraft, feared by German ground forces for its ability to destroy tanks and other armoured vehicles.
