Torpedoes Have Wings

By RONALD WALKER

The torpedo is becom- ing an increasingly power- ful weapon in the hands of the R.A.F. Coastal Command, and the Fleet Air Arm.

In both these branches of British air strength the technique of torpedo at- tack from the air has been improved. If evidence is needed,

remember the magnificent attack by air- craft of the Fleet Air Arm on the Italian war- ships in

harbour at

Taranto. During a recent short period the Coastal. Command sank some 50,-

000 tons of enemy ship ping by torpedo attack.

The launching of a tor- pedo against shipping from an aeroplane re- quires skill, courage and determination on the part

of the pilot. First the pilot has to find his tar- get. Once found he has to decide quickly on the method of attack. When he has manoeuvred his craft into the right posi- tion, forward goes the control column and down goes the nose of the machine.

It must dive straight toward the ship, for the torpedo is aimed by point- ing the aircraft at the target. During this aim- ing dive the machine is at the mercy of defending fire from the ship. The pilot must come low, not

more than about 50 feet from the water, because the torpedo must be drop- ped into the sea as gently as possible. Otherwise it will bounce itself out of alignment.

Ihree spade contract. But things

•WALT

When the right moment comes, with the machine almost down to the sea and uncomfortably close to the ship, the release is pressed and the torpedo, weighing about a ton, drops from beneath the landing wheels and pro- ceeds through the water under its own power.

Freed from this dead weight, the torpedo-bom- ber leaps up into the air, and the pilot climbs away as quickly as he can and makes for home. His job is done. If it is well done the thudding explosion of the torpedo against the ship's side will be signall- ed by upward shooting of columns of spray and smoke.

There are two types of machines used for torpedo attack. One is the vete- ran Fairey Swordfish, and the other is the Fairy. Albacore. Swordfish made the famous attack on Taranto.

Fitted with a Bristol radial engine, they have a speed which is slow. com- pared with the modern monoplane, but they have a sound reputation for be- ing sturdy and reliable military craft. The Alba- core, made by the same company, is built from -Swordfish experience. It has a narrower nose; the rear cockpit is covered in and the fanding legs are faired, making a single, wide leg, instead of the two-strutted legs of the Swordfish-The-Albacore- has a more powerful en- gine and, is faster.
