Warrior in the Mist – The Typhoon became established in roles such as night-time intruder and long-range fighter. From late 1942 the Typhoon was equipped with bombs and from late 1943 RP-3 rockets were added to its armoury. With those weapons and its four 20mm Hispano cannons, the Typhoon became one of the Second World War‘s most formidable and successful ground attack aircraft. By the Normandy landings in June 1944, 2 TAF had eighteen operational squadrons of Typhoon 1Bs, while RAF Fighter Command had a further nine. The aircraft proved itself to be the most effective RAF tactical strike aircraft, on interdiction raids against communications and transport targets deep in North Western Europe prior to the invasion and in direct support of the Allied ground forces after D-Day. A system of close liaison with the ground troops was set up by the RAF and army: RAF radio operators in vehicles equipped with VHF R/T travelled with the troops close to the front line and called up Typhoons operating in a ‘Cab Rank’, which attacked the targets, marked for them by smoke shells fired by mortar or artillery, until they were destroyed.
