***THE BLACKBURN SKUA WAS DEVELOPED IN GREAT BRITAIN AS A FIGHTER AND DIVE BOMBER.
***IT FIRST FLEW IN 1937. IT WAS PRIMARILY DESIGNATED TO BE USED BY THE ROYAL NAVY FLEET AIR ARM. IT WAS THE FIRST MONOPLANE; FEATURING A LOW MOUNTED WING. IT ALSO HAD AN ENCLOSED COCKPIT AND REAR GUNNER.
***PRIOR TO THIS THE ROYAL NAVY CONCENTRATED ON BIPLANES WITH OPEN COCKPITS, SUCH AS THE GLOSTER GLADIATOR, AND SWORDFISH. BOTH THE GLADIATOR AND SWORDFISH WERE TO CONTINUE TO BE USED, ALTHOUGH THE GLADIATOR WAS PHASED OUT BY 1940. THE SWORDFISH WAS USED MUCH LONGER DUE TO ITS ACCURACY AND SUCCESS IN HELPING SINK THE GERMAN BATTLESHIP BISMARCK, AND SUCESS IN THE MEDITERRANEAN SEA AGAINST THE ITALIAN FLEET ANCHORAGE AT TARANTO (ITALIAN "PEARL HARBOR" ) AND SUPPLY SHIPS HEADED TO NORTH AFRICA.
*** THE SKUA WAS HEAVILY ARMED WITH FOUR 7.7 MACHINE GUNS IN EACH WING AND A 7.7 MACHINE GUN IN THE REAR COCKPIT. THE SKUA COULD CARRY A VARIETY OF BOMBS OF VARYING POUNDS. THE SKUA'S MAIN WEAKNESS WAS ITS SLOW SPEED DUE TO ARMOR PLATING, LARGE FUEL TANKS, AMOUNT OF AMMUNITION FOR ITS GUNS AND AN UNDERPOWERED ENGINE.
***A NUMBER OF SKUAS WERE CREDITED WITH SHOOTING DOWN THE FIRST GERMAN PLANE, A DORNIER FLYING BOAT OFF NORWAY IN 1939. SEVERAL MONTHS LATER, THE SAME SQUADRONS LOST 8 OF 15 PLANES ATTACKING THE GERMAN BATTLESHIP SCHARNHORST.
***THE SKUA BEGAN TO BE PHASED OUT OF FRONTLINE CARRIER SERVICE BY 1940/41 AND REPLACED BY THE FIRST FULMAR. THE FULMAR WAS 50 MPH FASTER, MORE HEAVILY ARMED AND FAIRER BETTER AS A FIGHTER PLANE.
