World War II Biplane |

| Air power played a significant role in World War II (1939–1945). The vintage Fairey Swordfish, shown here, contributed to Allied naval victories in 1940 and 1941. This bomber, although not as advanced as some of the other bombers in use at the time, crippled an Italian fleet at Taranto and damaged the German battleship Bismarck. | ||||||
