The Hawker Sea Fury Carrier borne fighter-bomber was the British Fleet Air Arm's last piston-engined fighter, developed during WWII it did not see service with the Fleet Air Arm until after the war. It was arguably the fastest piston powered aircraft ever manufactured.

The Sea Fury was used by the FAA, Canada, Holland, Australia, and other countries including the Iraq Air Force. A total of 55 “de-navalized” Sea Fury that lacked a tail hook, folding wings and other naval equipment served with the Iraqi Air Force beginning in 1948 and well into the 1970s.
