WW2 Navy Aircraft covers any aircraft used or designed for use by any of the combatant countries navy’s during world war two. As you can imagine this also covers spotter aircraft flown from capital ships and catapult aircraft from C.A.M. (Catapult armed merchants) Ships. During the hectic battle for the Atlantic Britain armed some of her Merchant ships with Hawker Sea Hurricanes to chase off circling Focke Wulf Fw 200 Condors German surveillance aircraft and bombers when in range of land the idea was that the pilot would try to reach land or ditch close by an escort or merchant ship and be picked up. As you can imagine this would be a mission close to suicide if a land base was not close enough, a human will not last long in the Atlantic’s frigid waters.
